Brief History:

Kadakulam village, it is considered, came into being about 300 years ago. A small church built about 150 years in honor of of Our Lady of Rajakanni was renewed and consecrated by Bishop Roche on the 23 rd of September 1928 . Having been a substation of nearby parishes such as sokkankudiyiruppu, Kooduthalai, Kootappanai, and Thisayanvilai, Kadakulam was elevated as an independent parish on the 13 th of June 1984 by Bishop Amalnather.
