St. Dominic’s Cathedral in Kanjirappally is not only the seat of the Diocese, but also a powerful symbol of enduring faith, tradition, and unity. Now celebrating its 200th Jubilee, the cathedral stands as a testimony to two centuries of Christian witness and service in the region.
The church's architecture is inspiring – a graceful blend of heritage and simplicity. Inside, the prayerful silence and sacred atmosphere invite reflection and peace. The recent jubilee celebrations have brought the community together in a vibrant expression of gratitude and hope for the future.
Though my home parish is St. George's Church Church in Koruthodu, a close-knit and spiritually rich community, St. Dominic’s has always held a special place in our hearts. As the mother church of the diocese, it reminds us of our shared roots and mission.
Whether you're visiting as a pilgrim, tourist, or local faithful, this cathedral is worth a stop. Come and experience a piece of living history, and join in celebrating 200 years of faith that continues to inspire...
Read moreIt’s a very nice and beautiful church, BUT the priest and office staff are very bad and rude. They have their own Rules and Regulations besides the church’s. They don’t care about the people. If you book the auditorium you have to pay almost 1.5 lack just for 3 Hours. With that much money they don’t allow you to place center carpet, hang curtains along the wall, have confetti for cake-cutting, and nothing! Then you have to pay the caretaker for additional money, under the table . just for him standing there. He also has his own Rules even after paying him. Once you pay in full amount, you are stuck, you’ll never get that money back, and they bring new made-up Rules for that. If you have any problems or complaints the office staff says “go to priest”, then the priest says “go ask the caretaker”. So please don’t have any of your functions at that church. You will not be able to do anything the way you wished for or wanted. I will give one star for the priest and staff (Not the church) the church is beautiful! The management is so bad . Please don’t book that auditorium , go to some...
