The Knanaya Catholic Youth League of North America (KCYLNA) was established on November 27, 1994 as the youth wing of KCCNA. On that historic day, leaders from local KCYL chapters gathered at the KCS Chicago Center to draft the Constitution and decide the location for the first youth convention. The meeting, led by Shawn Mapleton (Las Vegas), included contributions from local chapter representatives and input from Fr. Cyriac Manthuruthil’s draft and India’s KCYL Constitution.

Manthuruthil serving as the Election Officer, the first KCYLNA Board was elected.
