[1] Our Lady of Fatima Church, Kallukoottam, traces its humble origin as a Bhajan Kurusady (a thatched shed for carols during Christmas) in 1951.

After a decade of coming together to exercise their simple faith, the community of 18 families, under the leadership of Mr Anthony Muthu, was raised to the status of substation of St. Francis Xavier Parish, Mankuzhi, in 1960.

To bring the children up in the Catholic faith, rudimentary catechism classes were organised on one of the week days.

To cater to the spiritual development of the adults, the Christian Life community for women and for men were started respectively in the years 1965 and 1978.

Now, Kolping Society is promoting natural home garden where vegetables are cultivated without any chemical manure, which is flourishing.
