About Our Parish
A Community of Faith, Tradition, and Love
Sacred Heart Mount Knanaya Catholic Church has been a beacon of faith in Kottayam for decades, serving our community with devotion, preserving our rich heritage, and spreading God's love to all.
Our History
Sacred Heart Mount Knanaya Catholic Church was established with a vision to serve the spiritual needs of the Knanaya Catholic community in Kottayam. Over the decades, our parish has grown into a vibrant community of believers, united in faith and dedicated to living the Gospel message.
Our church stands as a testament to the enduring faith of our ancestors and the commitment of generations who have built, nurtured, and sustained this sacred space. From humble beginnings, we have evolved into a thriving parish that celebrates both our Knanaya heritage and our universal Catholic identity.
Through times of challenge and celebration, our community has remained steadfast in prayer, worship, and service. Today, we continue to be a spiritual home for hundreds of families, offering not just a place of worship, but a community where faith is lived, shared, and passed on to future generations.
