== History ==<br />
The history of Kattachira Church is as follows. The Malankara Jacobite Syrian believers originally in Kattanam Church, who remained loyal to the Apostolic Throne of Antioch, needed a new place of worship when an issue brought out by the Indian Orthodox occurred at Kattanam parish, leaving it closed.<br />
<br />
== Global Marian Pilgrim center ==<br />
The Patriarch [[Ignatius Zakka I]] declared the chapel as a '''Global Marian Pilgrim Centre''' in November 2009.<br />
<br />
== Apostolic visit ==<br />
The Patriarch of the [[Syriac Orthodox Church]] of Antioch [[Ignatius Aphrem II]] visited the church in February 15, 2015, offered incense prayer, attended a public function and delivered a Holy Speech.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/great-expectations-of-peace-initiative/article6897989.ece |title=‘Great expectations of peace initiative’ |newspaper=[[The Hindu]] |date=2015-02-15 |access-date=2016-01-31}}</ref><br />
