History

edit

The church started as a small group of people from the areas of Vellayambalam, Sasthamangalam, Kowdiar, and many surrounding areas. The people got together at a small Shed beside the existing church building. At the beginning there used to be Mass in the Malayalam language. Later they had English mass as well. To this day this continues. There is English Mass Every Sunday after the Malayalam Mass. After the year 2000 the parishioners decided to build a new church building. The number of people arriving for mass was more than what could be accommodated in the shed that was used. With the donations and efforts of many people, they constructed a new church.
