Jesus the King Church in Palacode is a Roman Catholic place of worship located in the Dharmapuri district of Tamil Nadu, India.
Although the exact origin of these Catholics is unclear, "The Jesus in Mysore" book mentions the presence of a church named St. Ignatius.
Maury Amedes MEP, the priest of Kovilur Church, met Bir Muhammad and requested land in Bevuhalli for Catholics.
Bir Muhammad generously gave the land for Catholic settlements, and approximately 30 families were settled in the village.
However, due to the spread of malaria fever in the area, the population of the settlements did not increase, and later the Catholics relocated to other unknown places.
[5] During the Paris missionary era, there were notable Catholic settlements near Palacode in villages such as Savadiyur, Kotavur, and Kethampatti (Kethanahalli).
Heny Bonal MEP was appointed as the first parish priest of Palacode and resided in a rented house while conducting Masses in the other churches.
Heny Bonal MEP built the Parish house and a hospital named Sagaya Matha on the purchased land in 1991.
