In the earlier days the Christian believers of Kallooppara had to depend on the 'Niranam Church' for the holy mass, funeral ceremonies and other religious rites. The journey on Vallom was difficult and dangerous.
St. Mary's Orthodox Church, Kallooppara, has a fascinating history that speaks to the dedication and faith of the early Christian community in the region. Before this church was established, believers had to undertake the difficult and sometimes dangerous journey by boat (Vallom) to Niranam Church for worship and sacraments.
The establishment of this parish church made it possible for the faithful to practice their religion locally. Today, the church stands as a testament to the growth and spread of Orthodox Christianity in Kerala and continues to serve a vibrant community of believers.
The church has been a center of faith and devotion for the local Orthodox Christian community, providing spiritual guidance and sacramental services to the faithful in the region.
