St. Antony's Church, Chemmanvilai

St. Antony's Church features traditional Indian architectural elements with white walls and stands prominently in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu.

The church began its spiritual journey on December 25, 1942, when Reverend Father Mathias established it as a small worship center for local devotees.

The church holds annual festivals each April, bringing together the Roman Catholic community of Chemmanvilai for religious celebrations and communal gatherings.

Located at coordinates 8.223333 latitude and 77.336667 longitude, the church operates under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kuzhithurai in Tamil Nadu.

The parish status granted in 2011 marked a transformation from a simple worship center to an independent religious institution with its first priest, Reverend Father Joakins.
