The first parish of the believers living in Edakochi was St Lawrence Church, Edakochi. However, since St Lawrence is at the southern end of Edakochi, it was difficult for the believers from the northern end of Edakochi to participate in the Holy Mass and other religious ceremonies. As a solution, the believers in this area decided to gather and build a chapel in the north of Edakochi. On May 20, 1934, the foundation stone of St Mary’s Chapel, Edakochi, was laid by Rev. Fr Lawrence Puliyanath, who also performed the ceremony.

Due to the economic vulnerability of the people in this area, it took about 12 years, and on September 8, 1946, Rt Rev. Mon Sinur Lawrence Puliyanath performed the blessing of St Mary’s Chapel.

In 1961, Fr Cyprian Mulleparambil assumed the position as the first chaplain of St Mary’s Chapel, followed by Fr K . J Sebastian. In 1965, Fr Cyprian Mulleparambil returned as chaplain. During this period, a lower primary school was built adjacent to the chapel under the direction of Father Cyprian and started functioning in 1966 under the name St Mary’s L . P School.

Due to the large number of believers, Rev. Fr Xavier Palakkal initiated the work to develop the eastern side of the chapel during his time as the chaplain on February 29, 1976. The addition to the eastern side of the chapel was completed during the tenure of Rev. Fr Antony Kochukariyil.

In consideration of the demand of the faithful for a long time, Rt Rev. Dr Joseph Kureethara Bishop of Cochin gave permission to make St Mary’s Chapel a parish.

On January 26, 1978, our parish was separated from St Lawrence Church, Edakochi, to form St. Mary’s Church North, Edakochi.

At the request of the parishioners, on December 8, 1997, Rt Rev. Dr Joseph Kureethara Bishop of Cochin, laid the foundation stone for the new church on April 14, 2000, the newly built church was blessed by Most Rev. Dr Fr Daniel Acharuparambil in the presence of Diocesan Administrator Rev. Dr  Fr  Josy Kandanattthara.

The Parish is bounded by Venduruthy Backwater in the North, Kumbalam Ferry Road in the South, Kumbalam Backwater in the East, and Pashnithodu in the West. The area now spans over an area of ​​6 square kilometers and has developed into a large Parish with 50 units including 1411 families.
