Saint: Mary Help of Christians

The parish of Bibikulam is a small and dynamic parish. It was bifurcated from the parish of K. Pudur. Since it was under the Salesian fathers their patroness, Mary Help of Christians, has been given a Patron to the church of Bibikulam. On 26.04.1987, the church was built and blessed by the Archbishop of Madurai, Most. Rev. Dr. Casimir Gnanathickam. It was still a substation. Perceiving the spiritual needs of the people of Bibikulam, Goripalayam, Chokkikulam, Sellur, Narimedu, Alangulam, Mahatma Gandhi Nagar and Thabal thanthi Nagar, the Archbishop of Madurai, Most Rev. Dr. Arockiasamy elevated this small substation into a parish in the year 1997. On that day it had around 200 families. Rev. Fr. P.V. Susai was appointed as a Parish Priest. In the year 2004 under the guidance of Rev. Fr. Angel, anbiams were started. Now it has 335 Catholic families. Elumbur, a little village is the substation which is 10 kms away from the parish.
