Brief History:

Kizhavneri was elevated to an independent parish in 1926 under the first parish priest, Rev. Fr. Stanislaus Bangaru. A new church building was constructed during Fr. Sengol Mani’s tenure and consecrated on July 23, 1980 by Bishop Ambrosius Madalaimithu. The parish currently serves approximately 220 families with spiritual guidance and development initiatives, and maintains five branch churches in the surrounding villages including Holy Anthony in Achchampattu and Holy Lourdes Mother in Sempatu.
