Brief History:

This rural congregation was established in 1984 when four Christian families requested ecclesiastical authorities to create a place of worship. Initial services were conducted in a thatched structure twice monthly. Following increased Christian settlement in the region, a formal chapel with asbestos roofing was inaugurated in 1986. The present concrete church building was consecrated on February 3, 1999 under Bishop Leon A. Dharmraj leadership, enhancing spiritual provision for this remote agrarian community near the Pechipparai Dam. The parish serves 22 families with 2 religious sisters.
