A brief History of our Church
The History and Legacy of Vakayar St. Mary’s Malankara Syrian Catholic Church
Vakayar is a peaceful and scenic village where people of diverse religions and faiths live together in harmony like brothers and sisters. On September 20, 1930, the ascetic leader Archbishop Geevarghese Mar Ivanios reunited with the Catholic Church. Soon after, the waves of reunion reached Vakayar. As a result, on February 9, 1941, a parish community was established in Vakayar under the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Mar Ivanios. Mr. Mammen Kannanthanam, a Catholic believer, offered his home to celebrate the Holy Mass. Rev. Fr. Jose Mathew Chalkadavu was appointed as the first vicar.
