The need of a separate centre for worship arose when a big number of catholic families from other parishes moved to the housing colony here. There was a shed here from 1975 onwards. With the active support of the Salesians especially Fr. Joseph Thekkel the people were able to build a church, which was blessed on Sept. 24, 1997. Facilities for burial are available in the municipal burial ground. Polayathodu is now a substation of Tope parish.
