History
The church is the centre of Adaikalapuram , and by the church, the parishioners are blessed to improve their lifestyle.
Adaikalapuram parish was formed out of St.Joseph’s Charity Institute and so the people were depending on the same institute for their needs. The people celebrated their annual feast in St.Thomas Becket’s Church, which is situated in the institute. When the population of adaikalapuram began to increase in number,it became necessary that the people needed a separate church and priest for them.
On 19th March 1938, Rev.Fr.Joseph Roche , the director of st.joseph’s Charity Institute then ,laid foundation and a church made of coconut leaf was created. Our Lady of Refuge was the patroness of the parish then. The people were very much happy and celebrated all the liturgical devotions in that church.
