Kavirayapuram was once under Silukuvarpatti parish for a very long time. This village is formed by Catholics in 1854. Rev. Fr. Barthiere s.j., the Jesuit missionary constructed a small chapel when he was in charge of this mission. In 1952, Rev. Fr. Ernest Glas demolished that small chapel and constructed another church. But in 1984 Rev. Fr. Vedamanickam, then Silukuvarpatti P.P built the present Infant Jesus Church. Kavirayapuram is in Dindigul dt., East of Nilakottai. In 1989 Kavirayapuram was erected as a new parish.
