On 2 May 1937, Philip, the son of Susaiappan-Gnanamary who belonged to Sundampatti's family was baptized at Elthagiri Adaikala Madha Church.

Parish priest Fr Mathew observed that the Catholic population increased in Sundampatti, so he purchased 0.45 acres on the village's north side.

Villagers noted that open-air mass was conducted there by Salem bishop Rev.

Ignatius Kalathil purchased 0.92 cents of land in this village, where he built a chapel and conducted Sunday services.

Amalraj, who built the St. Antony church tower in 1994, wanted to provide a good view from the road.

The renovated church opened for services in 24 May 2015 with the blessing of Bishop Lawrence Pius of Dharmapuri diocese.

Capuchin priests support additional holy service by conducting masses in this church.
