ST. THOMAS CATHEDRAL
Established in the Year 1846. Formerly the church was dedicated
to St.George. Its neighbouring church was dedicated
to St.Mary. In the year of the institution of the
Diocese of Irinjalakuda both these parishes were joined
and renamed as St.thomas Cathedral on the procedure of institution
of the Diocese of Irinjalakuda in the year of 1978.
This was due to the importance of the place of Crangannore
presently called Kodungallur in the Diocese where
St.Thomas, one of the 12 of Jesus, Apostle for India landed
through..
