The Seminary was closed for 40 years due to the disputes between the Jacobite Society and the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church.

The church began as a small building thatched with coconut leaves in the early 1900s.

Paulose Mar Athanasius built the current St Mary's Church in the early 1930s.

Patriarchs of Antioch, Ignatius Abded Aloho II, St.Ignatius Elias III and Ignatius Jacob III had visited this church in 1911, 1931 and 1964.
