About Us

The land floats silently, surrounded by a peaceful green melody.
The morning awakens to the sweet song of birds.
Grains sway in the sound of water.
The fragrance of sand is enchanting.
The breeze from the fields soothes the heart with peace.
The emergence of St. Anthony's Church in Kanyakulam is a miracle.

In June 2011, Rev. ArulRaj consecrated the crucifixion statue in a thatched hut, after which daily prayers were held at 4 pm.

On August 15, the feast day of St. Anthony, a statue of the saint was blessed by the late Rev. Antony Benziger.
The worship service was attended with great enthusiasm by people from all faiths, castes, and racial backgrounds.
As of November 7, 2011, a prayer and rosary to Saint Antony was held every Tuesday at 4 pm. In 2013, Rev. Kallings, the parish priest of Erachakulam, celebrated Mass on the last Tuesday of the month with the bishop's permission.
In 2015, Rev. Perpetual Antony, the priest of the Erachakulam parish, laid the foundation stone for the construction of the chapel, and it was consecrated in 2020.
Following that, Rev. Raj led the service. In 2023, Bishop Nasren Susai entrusted Rev. Benitto with the responsibility of overseeing this chapel, under the direct supervision of the Diocese of Kottar.
Following that, Novena Mass was celebrated every Tuesday evening at 5PM and every Sunday Holy Mass at 11'o clock. As the church, where miracles occur daily, attracted increasing numbers of devotees, a lack of space forced the construction of a new church.
A church development committee was established with the involvement of local residents. Rev. John Rufus laid the foundation stone for this church, which was later consecrated by the Bishop of Kottar Diocese on 15/08/2025.
