Brief History:

Eruvadi had been a substation of Nanguneri parish. As a result of the enormous efforts taken by the parish priest Fr. Pannerselvam, Eruvadi became an independent parish in 1986, with Fr. Sagaya Joseph as its first parish priest. A church existed even before 1925 at Eruvadi. In the time of Fr. Suresh, in 1992, new church was built. Frs. Gabriel Devota, Michael Reddy and Bastian served at Eruvadi before it became a parish. Parish priests of Nanguneri such as Frs. Stephendas, Joseph Arulsamy, Rosario Fernando, Antony S. Fernando, Richard Rodrigo, Peter Rayan, Stanislaus Pandiyan, Arthur James, Gabriel, Paneerselvam paid special attention to Eruvadi when it had been their substation.
