St. Mary's Syro-Malabar Forane Church, Chalakudy

St. Mary's Forane Church, Chalakudy, is one of the 10 Foranes or deaneries under the Syro-Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Irinjalakuda, which was established in 1978 by the bifurcation of Thrissur Diocese. Prior to that, Chalakudy was part of Thrissur diocese, the most ancient Diocese of the Syro-Malabar Chatholic Church. Thrissur diocese has since been elevated to an archdiocese, Syro-Malabar Catholic Archeparchy of Thrissur, within which comes the Irinjalakuda diocese. There are 16 parishes under the Chalakudy Forane. The people of Chalakudy, mainly in business or service sectors, belong to middle or upper-middle-class families. Chalakudy is one of those areas in Kerala with a high concentration of Christian population, most belonging to the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church.
==History==
The origin of Christian faith in Chalakudy is claimed to date from the time when St. Thomas the Apostle, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, set foot in India with his mission shortly after Jesus's death. According to tradition, Apostle Thomas landed in Kodungallur, formerly known as Musiris, in 52 AD. At that time Kodungallur was a busy commercial center and an important port. St. Thomas travelled about various parts of Kerala preaching the Gospel and forming Christian communities, which began to grow at several places. The early Christian community in Chalakudy, who had been converted by Thomas, established the parish and built their first church in 600 AD.〔 The church was built in an area predominantly occupied by Brahmins, who the granted permission to build the church there. The town has people of several religions, who live in harmony. The church was then in the Palace Road, where it remained until about 1300 AD, when it moved to its present site a few hundred meters away.
The intercession of Blessed Virgin Mary is claimed to have taken place long ago. The original altar is known as "Swayamvara Altar", a title sparingly bestowed by the Pope.〔 It is said that those who pray at this altar with complete self-surrender will receive special blessings. In 1937, the parish was elevated to the status of a Forane.〔 The church was rebuilt in 1987 but the original intricately carved wooden altar was left intact.〔 On the consecration of the remodelled church, Cardinal Lourdusamy declared it to be a Marian Pilgrim Centre. The colossal belfry built in gothic style almost a century ago with a huge statue of Mary on the top is the tallest structure in the vicinity.
In 1966, 432 families were delinked from the parish to form a new parish under the forane with its base at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, West Chalakudy.
