K.C.Y.L being the first catholic youth movement in Kerala Catholic church, continues its journey in an active manner. During the initial stages its name was Catholic Association of University Students (CAUS). It was meant for the knanaya youth studying in colleges only. The Association started with the blessings of Bishop Mar Thomas Tharayil and spread its wings during the tenure of The Bishop Mar Kuriakose Kunnachery. Former Supreme Court Justice Mr Cyriac Joseph was the first director of the League. KCYL aims at the spiritual, cultural, educational, economical and social reformation of Knanaya Youth.
KCYL have contributed many great leaders to the church and society. The activities of the League build up the affinity towards knanaya community and its customs. Training programs conducted by the League boost the confidence level of the Youth.
The ultimate objectives of the community are 1. An archdiocese without any borders. 2. Maintain the identity through unity of community and diversity of customs. Being the official youth organization of knanaya catholics, it is the duty of KCYL to empower youth through community consciousness and knanaya customs with a strong Catholic background .KCYL is doing exceptionally well.
