This is the home parish of Saint Gheevarghese Mar Gregorios of Parumala, first canonized Christian saint from India. This is the home parish of Saint Gheevarghese Mar Gregorios of Parumala, a religious leader of the Syrian Orthodox Church and on 10 December 1876, the Patriarch of Antioch and the Head of all east (Jacobite), Ignatius Peter III, promoted the 28-year old Gregorios to be a bishop, at which point his official name became Geevarghese Mar Gregorios.

Upon arrival Kunchacko had sanctioned the building of the Mulanthuruthy Church. Later the Knanaya were called back to their home church of Kaduthuruthy by the descendants of the King of Vadakkumkur, leaving Mulanthuruthy Church in the care of the Syrian Christians who remained there.[2][3]
