About Parish

St. Jude Thaddeus church Kumbalangad which is the one and only parish in the name of St. Jude Thaddeus in Archdioceses of Thrissur.

            Former days, this parish was under the parish of Kundannoor and our ancestors were walking 3-4 kms to their sacramental and liturgical needs.

            In 1947-48 Fr. Paul Kallookaran, gave the idea about the new church in Kumblangad because of the inconveniences of our parishioners.

People accepted it whole heartedly and started their work seeking a suitable place.Then we got appropriate place.

            In 1967 Fr.Rocky Vazhappilly became the vicar of kundannoor.He enlightened the idea of the new church by raising the fund.Then Fr.Jacob Ainikkal came as the vicar. He is the founder father for the parish.

            Kumblangad is a small village of poor families. therefore we couldn’t realise the construction work with our effort.At that time we got a foreign sponser on the condition that the church must be in name of  St.Jude Thaddeus, the Apostle.

            Rev.Dr.Mar.Joseph Kundukulam concecrated the new chapel with 109 families in the name of St.Jude Thaddeus on 27^th April 1974. Sunday holy mass,Sunday school catechism and the other sacramentals were ministered here on coming days.In 1979, the cemetery was constructed.

During the time of Fr. Jose Thekkekara, our chapel erected as a Parish and Priest was coming from kundanoor.We celebrated the novena of St.Jude on every Thursday.

Since 1993 the Parish administration changed to the vicar of Attathra Church.Later in 2004 it was declared as independent parish and Rev.Fr.Soly Thattil became first resident vicar.

On 20^th April 2008  the Relic of our Patron was brought from Italy and put it for public veneration with the help of Fr.Biju Valiyaveetil,the parishioner.
