HISTORY
The Knanaya Catholic Association of Georgia (KCAG) used to organize
Syro-Malabar Holy Mass in Atlanta whenever a priest was available. The
president of KCAG Jacob Athimattathil had made attempts to buy a church
for the community. He invited Vicar General Fr. Abraham Mutholath to
offer Holy Mass and motivate the people to establish mission and buy a
church for the mission. KCAG members welcomed the idea based on the
presentation of Fr. Mutholath and applied to Mar Jacob Angadiath to
establish a Knanaya Catholic Mission in Atlanta.
Mar Jacob Angadiath established the Knanaya Catholic Mission in Atlanta,
Georgia on August 15, 2008 with Fr. Stany Edathiparambil as the mission
director. This mission bought a church of its own under the leadership
of Fr. Stany. Mar Jacob Angadiath consecrated the church and elevated
this mission as a parish on April 4, 2009 and appointed Rev. Fr. Stany
Edathiparambil as its first pastor.
Fr. Abey Vadakkekara served as the vicar of this parish since July 1,
2010. Fr. Dominic Madathilkalathil took charge as the pastor of this
parish on November 1, 2011. Rev. Fr. Jemy Puthusseril was the pastor of
this parish from October 18, 2014 to April 30, 2018. Rev. Fr. Boban
Vattampurath took charge as the pastor of the parish on May 1, 2018.
The parish celebrated its tenth anniversary on July 21, 2019. Vicar
General Fr. Thomas Mulavanal officiated the Holy Mass and presided over
the anniversary celebration.
This parish serves around 100 Knanaya Catholic families living in the
State of Georgia.
