New Church
After over a century, the church was rebuilt in 2013, to meet the needs of the growing parish. The old Church was an elegant example of the traditional architecture of Christian churches in Kerala. The new church blends tradition and modern architecture. It is based on an octagonal shape so as to accommodate more number of people at lesser overall cost. With this architecture we could construct a church which has all the needed facilities and at the same time affordable by the small parish and its diaspora as well as its well-wishers. The inititation for the construction was taken by then vicar, Rev Fr Varghese M Varghese (Jino achan). The construction was completed with able help and guidance from Very Revd. Skariah P Chacko Cor Episcopa, Revd. Fr V A Mathews and Revd. Fr T V Andrews. The foundation stone was laid by H.G Dr Mathews Mar Severios Metropolitan on 25th of April 2010 and was consecrated by His Holiness Baselios Mar Thoma Paulose II Catholicos of the East , supported by H.G Yuhanon Mar Polikarpos Metropolitan of Angamaly , H.G Dr Thomas mar Athanasios Metropolitan of Kandanad East as well as our beloved Diocesan Metropolitan H G Dr Mathews Mar Severios on 1st February 2013.
