Short history
Bishop Edward Francis of Sivagangai diocese invited the
congregation of the mission in 1989 to take up Kallal, a
small village about 350kms away from Madurai. Five acres of
land was given ‘ad usum perpetuum’ by the Diocese to the
Congregation for Parish church and presbytery. Due to some
difficulties we had to ask the Bishop to give another plot
of 2.5 acres. In this place the presbytery was construed in
1990. With the help of the diocese the parish church was
constructed in 1991 and blessed and dedicated it to the
Queen of the Mission by Bishop Edwadrd Francis. Kallal has
10 substations with village chapels. The parish has a hostel
for the local children.
Kallal is about 18kms from Karaikudi town.
