C.F. Swartz sent some trained Church workers from Tanjore to the coastal lands in the South. One among them was David Sundaranantham @ Inaddai Muthu, native of Vijayanamapuram. Subsequently Rev. Ringle Thoube came to this region by walk to spread Evangelism. As a result Idaiyangudi congregation was formed. In 1841, Rev. Robert Caldwell came here and found only seven families. Staying at Idaiyaugudi for more than 42 years, he kindled the spiritual light of Jesus and established more than 50 congregations. He built the beautiful church named Holy Trinity Church and dedicated it to the Holy Redeemer in 1880. He established Elementary Schools and also Immanuel Hospital. In June 2000, the Dravidian Linguistic Association conducted an All India Conference and the local congregation instituted &#8221; Bishop Caldwell Research Centre&#8221; for religious, linguistic and historical studies (B.C.R.C). The Bishop Caldwell Bungalow has been declared by the Tirunelveli Diocese as a Monumental Building for Dr. Caldwell Research Studies and Library.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nThere are eleven congregations in this pastorate namely:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Dohnavur<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Holy Trinity Church, Idaiyangudi<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0St. John&#8217;s Church, Arulnagar<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0St. Thomas Church, Tharuvai East<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0St. John&#8217;s Church, Tharuvai South<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0St. Mary&#8217;s Church, Tharuvai West<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0St. Stephen&#8217;s Church, Vellivillai<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0St. John&#8217;s Church, Achampadu<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Holy Trinity Church, Illakarivillai<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0St. John&#8217;s Church, Kuttam<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0St. Paul&#8217;s Church, Tanjapuram<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Good Shepherd Church, Kadakulam<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Important Festivals in the Pastorate<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-26\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-26\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Congregation<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Dedication<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Asanam<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Harvest Festival<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Idaiyangudi<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Trinity Sunday<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Monday in the Holy Week<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">July<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Arulnagar<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">42002<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">42002<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">August<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Tharuvai East<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">41994<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">41994<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">February<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Tharuvai South<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">42002<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><\/td><td class=\"column-4\">September<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Tharuvai West<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">41996<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">41996<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">September<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Vellivillai<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">41999<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">41999<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">August<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Achampadu<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">42002<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><\/td><td class=\"column-4\">August<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Illakarivillai<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Trinity Sunday<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><\/td><td class=\"column-4\">August<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Kuttam\u00a0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">42002<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Holy Week<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">October<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Tanjapuram\u00a0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">41664<\/td><td class=\"column-3\"><\/td><td class=\"column-4\">October<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Kadakulam<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">41774<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Holy Week<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">October<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-26 from cache --><\/p>\n<p>125th Anniversary Celebrations of Holy Trinity Church, Idaiyangudi<\/p>\n<p>Bishop Robert Caldwell built and dedicated the Idaiyangudi Church in 1880.
