About St. Thomas Mar Thoma Church
In the early days, the church that Syrian Christians of Thiruvalla congregated for worship was at Niranam, which was one of the seven churches established by St. Thomas at Malankara, namely, Kodungalloor, Kollam, Paloor, Paravoor, Thekkanpallippuram, Niranam and Nilackal. Later, a cathedral church was established at Thiruvalla Paliekkara in 1815 A.D. and holy services were conducted there. This church was burned and destroyed by the Patthillatthil Pottis, the lords of those days. The parishioners' petition made Colonel Munro, a British resident, intervene and collect a fine of 6000 Calions from the culprits. Half of this amount was spent on renovating the church, which is the present day Paliekkara Church.
