The United States has the longest-established Syro-Malabar presence outside India — an eparchy since 2001, parishes in most large metropolitan areas, and in many families a second and now third generation raised in America. That changes the search: often one side is looking within the US community, and the other is looking from Kerala.
The United States has the oldest Syro-Malabar eparchy outside India, based in Chicago, with parishes nationwide. Families search within it and back home in Kerala. Register free, set your rite to Syro-Malabar, and filter by country or by eparchy.
The Syro-Malabar Eparchy of St Thomas the Apostle, based in Chicago, was erected in 2001 and serves Syro-Malabar Catholics across the United States, with parishes and Mass centres in most large metropolitan areas. A profile that records both the US city and the Kerala eparchy is visible to families searching from either side.
Because the community has been here longest, the generational question comes up most sharply in America: a son or daughter raised entirely in the US, and a family whose expectations were formed in Kerala. It is better stated on the profile than discovered in the third conversation — how much Malayalam is spoken at home, and whether the couple would settle in the US, both belong there.

Most families here run both searches. Every profile carries its eparchy and parish in India, so you can start from the one your family belongs to.
Yes. Register free on Jesus Choice Matrimonial, set your rite to Syro-Malabar and your country to United States. Your profile is then visible both to families in the USA and to families searching from Kerala, which is how most diaspora matches are actually made.
Yes, and most families do. Every profile records its eparchy and parish in India, so you can search back to the eparchy your family belongs to, not just by state or city.
It should. Families in Kerala want to know where a couple would live, and families in the USA want to know whether the other side has been through the move already. Put it in the profile rather than leaving it to the first conversation.
Yes. Creating a profile, completing it and browsing approved members costs nothing. Paid plans unlock contact details, messaging and WhatsApp.
Every profile is read by our team before it is published, and members can submit an ID proof that we verify. Photographs and phone numbers stay under the member's control — both can be locked and released only on request.
Register free, set your rite and eparchy, and be visible to families searching from the USA and from Kerala at the same time.
