History of \u00a0St. Paul’s Church, Adaikalapattanam.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first Church was built at Vedamputhur and a congregation of 5 member, \u00a0Yesudian, \u00a0Asirvatham, yoseph, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Packianathan & \u00a0Samuel were worshipping in a Palmnthatched shed. \u00a0In 1922, when Rev. YD Devadason working as a Presbyter the congregation planned to build a church at Adaikalapattanam and colleced bricks, sand and stones. \u00a0But in 1925 when Mr. Asirvatham took charge as Catechist he initiated the work with the help of Mr. V. Samuel, Mr. Asirvatham Chelliah, Mr. V. Daniel, Mr. N. Samuel, Mr. S. David, Mr. S. Jesudian Thangiah. \u00a0On \u00a017th September, 1925 the church was dedicated by the Rev. John Samuel, Circle Chairman of Nallur in the presence of Rev. Robert Peter, Pulavanoor.The size of the Church was 28 x 17.5 sq feet. \u00a0The front portico was 10 X 17.5sq ft. The \u00a0foundation was laid with stone and \u00a0limestone. The \u00a0walls were brick and \u00a0limestone plastered with \u00a0limestone and sand. The roof was tiled with surratti.<\/em>\u00a0The Church was later extended and dedicated on\u00a017th September, 1932 \u00a0by the Rt.Rev.

When the roof concrete was spread, the whole concrete stuff crumbled and fell on the floor. By the grace of God all the workmen on the spot were safe. \u00a0Those who opposed the work to jubilant and exchanged sweet among them. But in \u00a0the midst of such difficulty the Servants of the Lord and the congregation continued to work with faith and prayer and the work was completed, \u00a0the size of the Alter – 17 x 13 sq. feet, and the front Portico 20 x 37. \u00a0 On 15.01.2001 the \u00a0Rt.
