A Brief History
This Parish was bifurcated from Peravallur and was erected officially as a Parish in
2003. Initially
in the year 1970 it started with 20 catholic families and later the Government allotted
the land for this
Church. In 1974 a small hut with mud walls was erected and a statue of Our Lady of Good
Health
(Arockia Madha) was installed. From this year onwards Mass was celebrated every Thursday
and
the annual Feast is celebrated on 8th September. Additional land was bought in 1977 and
a presbytery
was built in 2000.
