ST. ALPHONSA SYRO MALABAR CHURCH

ST. ALPHONSA SYRO MALABAR CHURCH Syro-Malabar Catholic Church is one of the most ancient Eastern Christian communities in the universal Church. It's origin is traced to St. Thomas the Apostle who preached Good News in Kerala, India. Although the arrival of Western missionaries was a land mark in the history of church in India,it was with Vatican II that there was a real awakening in the Syro-Malabar Church. This resulted in the sincere search for the church's lost identity as an Apostolic and Eastern Church. The most remarkable achievement was the establishment of new missions in defferent parts of India in which missionaries were sent all over the world. Thus, the St. Thomas Syro-Malabar diocese was established on July 1, 2001, the fiost Syro—Malabar diocese in a foreign country. It encompasses the entire United States of America and has its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois
