The Holy Family Knanaya Church Atlanta celebrating 10 years of its establishment, calls
for expressions of gratitude to GOD and calls for celebration in various levels. The
bene�its of having a Parish is immense for a small community like ours. It has
strengthened the unity of our members; Daily church activities has brought us
closer we enjoy more fraternity. The faith formation and the Spiritual bene-
�its are immense and helped our new generation to be better Christians.
Our Holy Family Church has helped our community to be very strong in
Catholic faith and strong in our identity and heritage as Knanaites.
Hence, we have every reason to celebrate the 10th Anniversary and thank
God for it.

The 10th anniversary was celebrated in very meaningful way.
First parish level we had many activities and then, Atlanta level
we had ecumenical level activities, Finally National level we had
youth gathering, Basketball & tug of war competitions. The
Samapana Sammelanam or Grand Finale was
attended by many dignitaries and it was orga-
nized in highest level of quality that has taken
our image to new high levels to outsiders.

I am glad that we are publishing a special souve-
nir on this occasion which is really needed and
wanted as a reference to our future generations.
This takes lots of time. effort and pressure. Edito-
rial team under the leadership of Thomas
Kalladanthiyil, has come up with an excellent
work which is appreciated by the whole com-
munity.

Through intercession of Holy Family let us
hope and pray and work towards building a
progressive and developing Knanaya united
Community that is rooted in our Catholic
faith and our own knanaya heritage / identi-
ty handed down to us by Knai Thomman
from AD 345.
