The ''' St. John the Baptist''' church is a [[Roman Catholic Church]] situated in the locality of Permude, [[Mangalore]] [[Mangalore taluk|taluk]], [[India]]. This church is located on the way to [[Kateel]] from [[Bajpe]]. The church is devoted to [[St John the Baptist]] who is known for truth and justice.

==History==
In early days, most of the people in Permude were farmers and hard workers. Agriculture and dairy farming were the occupations of the people here during the early years. Permude had a nickname as Perda Mudde ([[Tulu Language]]) as production of milk was plenty during early time. Prior to foundation of this church the [[Catholics]] around Permude were part of [[Bajpe]] and Kalavaru. For spiritual needs, Catholics of Permude were walking several miles to [[Bajpe]] or to Kalavaru as there were no other transport facility available. Meanwhile, the Catholic community realized the need of a church in Permude. During this time, John Baptist Balthazar Nazareth, a resident of Permude and by profession a coffee planter in [[Chikmagalur]] became sick. His wife Seraphine Nazareth vowed to build a church in Permude to get back her husband's good health and started the construction of the church along with her daughter Juliana and her son-in law Albert Ambudias Rodrigues.<ref name=CT>[https://www.catholictime.com/news1/mangalore-diocese-news/367-pezar-deanery/422-permude/9448-history-of-st-john-the-baptist-church-permude Catholic Time website, Mangalore Diocese News section, ''History of St John the Baptist Church, Permude'', article dated December 3, 2021]</ref> Three-fourths of the cost of the construction was shared by the founders and a quarter of the cost was borne by the parishioners by donating material and labour.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title = St John the Baptist Church, Permude to celebrate golden jubilee on Jan 13|url = http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=375844|website = www.daijiworld.com |access-date = 2016-01-12}}</ref>

The foundation for the church was laid on 25 November 1959 by the Bishop late Rev Dr Raymond D' Mello. The church was consecrated on 16 May 1963; as per the official records in the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Mangalore]], Permude parish was officially formed on 24 October 1965 after separating from [[Bajpe]] and Kalavaru parishes. Father Jacob Crasta was the first priest of this church.<ref name=":0" />

The church was devoted to [[St John the Baptist]] who is known for truth and justice as it was built in the memory of John Baptist Balthazar Nazareth. Until [[Kateel]] parish was formed, this parish served the spiritual needs of Catholics around Permude, [[Kateel]] and Ekkaru. When [[Kateel]] parish was formed in 1971, the Catholic families from [[Kateel]] to Ekkaru joined [[Kateel]] parish.<ref name=CT /> This parish has given several priests and nuns who have served the spiritual needs of the community.<ref name=":0" />
