Brief History:

Originally functioning as a branch of Coccavarai Parish serving lower-caste communities since the 19th century, this congregation was elevated to independent parish status in 2011 under Vincentian Missionaries. The new church was constructed and consecrated on December 30, 2013, by the former Bishop of the Salem Diocese. A parish residence was built in 2018. The parish maintains four attached chapels serving surrounding communities including Ariyakkavalntanpatti, Mulapalapatti, and Kattapuliyamaram areas. The feast is celebrated on May 1 in honour of St. Joseph (Susaiappar). Read more about Holy Susaiappar Church, Namakirippettai.
