On the eastern side ( Kizhakkupuram 7 km from Pathanamthitta town ) of Kerala there was no place of worship. The Christians of the locality with the co-operation of their Hindu brethren decided to construct a church in the name of St.George. For this purpose, Omalloor Vadakkeydathu Father Geevarghese bought the place of invisible powers from the Chirapurathu family in the Malayalam Era of 1070. Later M. G. Geevarghese built the church and dedicated it to the Orthodox Church in 1930. In 1958 it was handed over in writing to the Holy Geevarghese Dwidiyan Catholica Baba. On May 11, 1981, Most Rev His Grace Daniel Mar Pilaksinos laid the foundation stone for the present church. Father M. C. Idikula was the vicar of the tie. Most Rev Oommen Kodukulanji Core Episcopa, Most Rev, K. T. Mathai Kochumuruyil Core Episcopa led the construction of the church. Under the vicarage of Rev Father Joseph on May 1, 1996, His Grace Most Rev Basalios Marthoma Matthews Didiyan Catholica Baba performed the sacrament of inaugurating the church. Now Rev Father Pole is the vicar of the church.
