== History ==
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.

== Global Marian Pilgrim center ==
Ignatius Zakka I declared the chapel as a '''Global Marian Pilgrim Centre''' in November 2009.

== Apostolic visit ==
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>
