Cornerstone of this church was laid by St.Gregorious of Parumala (Parumala Kochuthirumeni).
Festivals
Every year during the summer, when the river water recedes, many sandy beds form in the middle of the river that are large enough to hold conventions and festivals. People from various parts of the Mallappally and Tiruvalla taluks come for the festival.[6][non-primary source needed]
