                 My dear Fr. Abraham Mutholath,
                 Brothers and Sisters,

                 Many greetings for you all from the Archeparchy of Kottayam.

                 It is really a heart warming event for all the Knanaya Catholic Community here
               and abroad that our Knanaya Catholic Mission of Chicago is being elevated to the
               status of a Parish on Sunday 24th, 2006 by Mar Jacob Angadiyath, your beloved  »N·Êø ÿbL¢ …Ufl;
               Bishop.  Throughout centuries our forefathers have maintained and nurtured their  ’fl÷bfiÿ’·¢ ÃtB{·¢
               unweaving faith and the attachment to the Community gathering around the Altar and  ÷μ̃flÊMø·J·μ:
               receiving the Sacraments. Now you have your own Church and all the infrastructures  Ãfl◊MÌ ŒfiV Œfiƒc· Œ‚‹AfiGÌ
               needed to grow in faith and to strengthen our bonds. It is up to you to grow in the var-  ßø’μÊœ •»·ÁŒfiΔflÇÌ
               ious aspects of an authentic ecclesial life of a Knanaya Catholic Parish. You have to  Æ›·ƒflœ μJÌ.
               try your level best to live the reality of SyroMalabar Church tradition and our prop-
               er heritage in your given context of the United States both by sharing the richness of
               our identity and integrating the richness of the American Culture into your ecclesial
               life.

                 I take this opportunity to express my appreciation and grateful sentiments to all
               who have worked in realizing the Sacred Heart Knanaya Catholic Parish especially
               Mar Jacob  Angadiath, His Eminence Francis Cardinal George, His Excellency
               Bishop. Thomas Paprocki and Fr. Abraham Mutholath.

                 I pray that God may pour His blessing on all of you who receive the Sacred mys-
               teries at this Church and that you all may be protected from all evil
               and be sealed with life giving sign of the Cross of our Lord.
                               Yours sincerely in the Lord,
