The Ministries of our Indian Community

The Syro-Malabar Roman Catholic Church of India guides our ministries, with its USA base at St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Diocese of Chicago. We meet every fourth Sunday (2:00pm) for a variety of enriching educational, cultural, social, and spiritual activities, including holy mass in Malayalam. Our prayer group meets Tuesdays at 5:30pm. Our group consists of about thirty families at the present time. The members meet all financial needs of our activities. We fundraise and contribute for charitable and educational purposes. We contribute our time to organize social and cultural events. We seek our talented and knowledgeable people to speak on relevant issues. We conduct educational and talent competitions. We organize retreats and family prayer groups. We share the Good News in our Christmas Caroling, and our celebrations of the feasts of St. Thomas, Blessed Alphonsa, and Blessed Chavara Kuiakose.
These ministries emulate our goals to provide proper guidance for our growing children, to continue our heritage’s rich traditions, and exchange experiences with the value and traditions of other cultures.
