St Thomas Cathedral Irinjalakuda

St Thomas Cathedral is one of the iconic symbols of Irinjalakuda. The Cathedral Church of the eparchy of Irinjalakuda got its present existence under the nomenclature and the Canonical Status as Cathedral in the Wake of the Origin of the New Eparchy. This was effected by the amalgamation of the two independent and important parishes of the locality, namely, St. George’s Forane Church and St. Mary’s church, which amicably situated side by side for about a century. Construction of this initial structure was initiated at the request of the Christian merchants in Irinjalakuda.
