A Sacred Place of Worship, Prayer, and Spiritual Renewal
At the heart of the Knai Thomman Center stands the Knai Thomman Church & Worship Center, a place dedicated to prayer, worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth. Established through divine inspiration and guided by faith, the church serves as a spiritual home for Knanaya families and believers seeking a deeper relationship with God.
The church bears the name Knai Thomman, revered as the Patron of Leadership among the Knanaya people, a title that reflects his enduring legacy of faith, courage, and guidance. According to the spiritual history of the center, the name was revealed through a message from Mother Mary, making it a cherished part of the church’s identity and mission.
Our Spiritual Foundation
The birth of the Knai Thomman Church & Worship Center is rooted in a profound spiritual calling. Inspired through revelations received from Jesus Christ and Mother Mary, the church was founded on August 15, the Feast of the Assumption of Mother Mary.
This date remains a significant milestone in the history of the church, symbolizing its dedication to Marian devotion and Christian faith.
A particularly special moment in the center’s history occurred on February 11, 2018, during the third day of a fasting and Thapasu retreat, when Mother Mary blessed the center through an appearance witnessed by participants. This event continues to inspire countless faithful who visit the center seeking prayer, healing, and spiritual renewal.
