Church of Sts. Joseph, the Worker & Philip

In the year 1962, Rev. Fr. Philip Manathara, Parish Priest of Avadi, founded a substation Mass centre at Ambattur in a hut. It was located at Kalyanapuram near Ambattur Railway station. The late Archbishop Rev. Most. R. Arulappa erected it as an independent parish in the year 1972 and built a Church at Krishnapuram. Rev. Fr. James Panapparamphil (1972) was the first Parish Priest. Then in the year 1985 when Rev. Fr. P. J. Lawrence Raj took over as Parish Priest, he constructed the school in 1988 and the new church in the year 1993.
