St. Arockiya Nathar Church, Vavathurai, Catholic church in Vavathurai, India
The white church building stands on the shores of Kanyakumari, with its architecture reflecting traditional southern Indian ecclesiastical design patterns.
Bishop Peter Remigius inaugurated St. Arockiya Nathar Church in 2010 after the area separated from Kanyakumari Parish to become part of Puthugramam Parish in 2001.
The church serves the local fishing community with Tamil language services and honors St. Roach, who is associated with protection against illnesses.
Located 2 kilometers from Kanyakumari town, the church is accessible via the State Transport Corporation Bus Stand and Kanyakumari Railway Station.
