Mary Queen Church, Thoppil

It is situated along Thrikkakkara - Kakkanad road, at Thoppil, in Ernakulam district of the south Indian state of Kerala.The chapel was later replaced by a new larger church which was consecrated on 2 September 1972 by Joseph Parecattil, the then cardinal of Ernakulam Archdiocese.The service was temporarily shifted to the new parish hall which facilitated the demotion of the old church and the construction of a new one in its place.The ground breaking ceremony was done on 8 January 2016 and the church was consecrated on 8 December 2018 by Jacob Manathodath, the Apostolic Administrator of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Major Archeparchy of Ernakulam-Angamaly.[6] The main festival of the church is the Feast of Mother Mary which is celebrated every year on the first Sunday on or after 8 September.
