Detailed description is Welcome To The Official page of Church Of Our Lady Of Lourdes, Punnai Nagar, Nagercoil.
Parish Priest.
Fr.John Kennedy.A The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes was blessed and officially opened in 1953..
Our Lady of Lourdes is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary invoked by Roman Catholics in honor of the Marian apparitions..
This is a Tamil Catholic RC church in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, India..
Today, the Church is used, up to a point, for the purpose for which it was built, i.e.

The diocese of kottar was bifurcated from the mother diocese of Quilon comprising of Tamil Linguistic regions namely Kottar, Colachel, Mulagumoodu and Tiruthuvapuram vicariates by the then pope His holiness Pius XI on may 26th 1930.
His excellency Lawerencee Perira belonging to Kollam diocese took charge as the first bishop of the diocese of kottar.

Panchavankaadu Kurusady St.
Antony’s Church was an important church affiliated to vadakankulam parish in the diocese of kottar.
This church was affliated to kottar St.
Xaviers cathedral as a substation for quite some time.
The people in and around Kurusady were using St.
Antony’s church for their faithful and pious activities.
As there were a number of small hamlets around kurusady this resulted in congestion during ceremonies.
Due to this the catholics of around 22 hamlets around kurusady had an intention of forming their individual church in the respective localities.
Their quest for a new church fruitified by the installation of St.
Antony’s church Kurusady as a separate parish and the 22 hamlets as substations under the above parish.
One among them was Punnakattuvilai Church..
.
During that period their were around 13 Joint Families in Punnakattuvulai.
All the Catholics from the substations had to attend the parish church at Kurusady for Sunday Mass, Marriage Mass, the Sacrament of Ceremony and other liturgical ceremonies by walk.
The Punnakattuvilai catholics due to their affection and attachment towards Mother Mary, especially Our Lady of Lourdes, intended to form a church.
As a first step in between A.D 1939 and 1946 they formed a prayer cell in a thatched shed in the present campus.
They regularly performed rosary and other prayers in the above shed.
In A.D 1946 with the permission of king of Travancore, the Punnainagar villagers extended the prayer cell with a tile roofed church of their own hard work..
.
During the initial days, Water scarcity was an acute problem faced by the 13 Joint Families affiliated to the Punnainagar Church.
They had to even walk upto kurusady for fetching drinking water.
Hence they decided to desilte the existing well with more depth which was accomplished the help of the divan of the then Trivancore Kingdom.
Due to the efforts of the then parish preist of Kurusady Rev.
D.C.
