Kizhathadiyoor church had its inception as the “Kurisupally” of the Cathedral of Pala and is indebted a lot to the former Bishop of Pala Diocese, Mar Joseph Pallikaparambil for his special interest in building the church. Its foundation stone was laid on May 1st, 1995 in the name of St. Joseph. Fr. George Choorakkat, the Vicar of Cathedral played a pivotal role in the construction of the church and the church was blessed on May 25th 1996. The Holy Mass and Catechism began on May 26th, Sunday which was the Pentecost day.
Fr. George Veluparambil became the first Vicar of the Kizhathadiyoor Church on March 19th, 1996. His immense abilities, ardent belief in God and hardworking nature transformed the church into a big pilgrim center. He took special initiative to start the Novena of St Jude in the church which is extremely laudable.
