The history of church dates back to the British era, tea estate workers having great devotion to Mother Mary. In the 1980s, Bro. Hippolitus Thadathil CMSF, a franciscan missionary brother of Kerala origin who came to pattumala realised the devotion & took the initiative; at first ashram chapel was used by devotees for the prayers and then in 1980's planned for a new church. The present church was blessed in 1998.
