St. Mary's Cathedral, Punalur, Cathedral in Punalur, India
St. Mary's Cathedral stands on a hillock along the western bank of the Kallada River near Punalur railway station and paper mills.
The cathedral originated from a thatched shed constructed by Belgian Carmelite missionaries in 1866, with initial services conducted in Latin.
The cathedral brings together Catholic communities from paper mills, railway workers, rubber estate laborers, and local farmers in the Punalur region.
The cathedral maintains a website for announcements and updates, managed under the guidance of Rev. Fr. Dr. Christy Joseph and current Parish Priest Johnson Joseph.
The structure evolved from a granite building in 1933 to a concrete structure in 1997, marking different phases of architectural development.
