Brief History:

When Fr. Causanal S.J. was parish priest of Kallikulam, Kizhavaneri which was administered by the village administration, was one of his substations. In 1926 it became a parish with Fr. Stanislaus Pangaru as the first parish priests. Its substations were Pandarakulam, Achampadu, Anaikulam, Pudur, Pudukudiyiruppu, Arupuli, and Madapuram. Parishioners who used to be farmers eventually began to earn money in places such as Malaysia, SriLanka and Chennai. Our Lady’s mother St. Ann is the patron saint. The feast of St. Ann is celebrated every year in a grand manner on the 26th of July. Parish council was established in 1995 and it has been functioning well through the years.
