Brief History:

Saint Joseph Church, Varuvilai, serves a congregation that initially travelled to Vavarkai Church for Sunday worship. Recognising the spiritual needs of local residents, a small chapel was constructed in 1964, operating as a Vavarkai branch. From 1972 onwards it became a branch of Kanchamburam parish. A new church building was consecrated in 1974 by Bishop Arokya Samy, and the current structure was dedicated in 2020 following renovation works. The parish now serves approximately 180 families.
