Since a long time the people of Avittathur used to go to St. Mary's Church Velayanad to practise their catholic faith and to stregthen their spiritual life. Because of the distance and tedious journey they wanted to have a church of their own in Avittathur. The ardent desire and strenuous effort, along with god's grace their dream came into a reality in 1878. In this church Rev. Fr. Poulose Chittilappilly Pozholiparambil gave the spiritual leadership and those who came after him also worked hard and brought it up to be a model parish in the diocese of Irinjalakuda. Today this parish with 500 families shine in the catholic church in the realms of Socio-Spiritual and cultural activities.
