In the early 20th century, the number of Catholic families increased in Rayakottai, and the spiritual needs of the community were taken care of by priests from Kovilur.

Martin MEP, the Elathagiri Parish priest, to the Hosur Sub-collector, mentioned that the church would take care of the British graveyard in Rayakottai, which belonged to a Catholic organization.

PA. Zackriyas, Kadagathur Parish priest wrote a confirmation letter to the Hosur sub-registrar stating that the graveyard, which had been occupied by others, still belonged to the Salem Diocese.

Heny Bonal MEP, would visit Rayakottai once a month to conduct Mass in the houses of the Catholic families.

Additionally, the priests of Rayakottai also conducted Masses at the Panjampalli Sri Lankan Tamil Refugee camp.

After two years of construction, the church was inaugurated on April 18, 1999, with the blessings of the Dharmapuri Bishop Joseph Anthony Irudayaraj .
