Port Kollam Church, Roman Catholic church near Kollam Port, India
The Port Kollam Church stands near the historic port area, featuring traditional ecclesiastical architecture with a white exterior and pointed spires reaching toward the sky.
Established in 52 CE by Thomas the Apostle, the original church structure faced destruction from sea erosion, leading to multiple reconstructions throughout its extensive history.
The church holds three major annual celebrations, including the Feast of Our Lady of Purification, where mothers present their newborns in a ceremonial blessing.
The church conducts multiple Sunday masses and maintains regular services throughout the week, serving the Catholic population of the Kollam district.
The church preserves religious relics of Thomas the Apostle, transferred from Ortona, Italy in 2006, and contains artifacts of Mother Teresa.
