St. Joseph's Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Chennamkary, Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in Chennamkary, India

The church stands in the Alappuzha district with traditional Kerala architectural elements and serves as a primary religious center for the local congregation.

Saint Thomas the Apostle established the Christian community in Kerala in 52 AD, leading to the foundation of numerous churches including this one.

The church functions as a central institution for the Syro-Malabar Catholic community, maintaining East Syrian Christian traditions through regular services and celebrations.

Religious services take place regularly at the church, which received a new building structure in 1997 to replace the aging previous construction.

St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara, a notable figure in Kerala's church history, was baptized in this church after his birth in 1805.
