About the Pastorate |
In the beginning of 19th century, a Gospel team came to the village of Idayankulam. First baptism service was held on 17.12.1827 and 10 Hindu families came to Christian fold. Over the years all in the village have become Christians. St. Mark's Church was built and dedicated on 2.10.1888. The Church Tower was dedicated for the Glory of God in 1939.
The Dedication Festival of the Idayankulam Pastorate Church is celebrated on 2nd October every year. The Church Asanam (Mass feeding) is held on 15th August and Harvest Festival held in July. There is much enthusiasm in the congregation while celebrating the Church Dedication Festival and Harvest Festival.
