During the year 1958-1959, the Government distributed lands to landless people. Under the able leadership of Mr D Swamikannu, a chapel was built here for the spiritual needs of the local people. The laity contributed for the construction. Later a plot of land was purchased and the present Church named 'Ascension Church' was built there. This church was erected as a Parish on the 13th July 1982 and entrusted to the Vincentian Fathers.
