Perumpilly Simhasana ChurchPerumpilly has a very famous Jacobite church , the Perumpilly Simhasana Church.

St. George's Simhasana Church at Perumpilly was founded by late Mor Yulius Elias Qoro, Patriarchal Delegate to Malankara in 1938. The church building was rebuilt by late Geevarghese Mor Gregorious, metropolitan of Kochi diocese, who had served at this church for several years as vicar. In 1982, H. H. Patriarch Zakka I consecrated the church. A small portion of the zoonoro (girdle) of the Holy Virgin, discovered by Patriarch Aphrem I at Homs, and given to late Mor Gregorius by Patriarch Ya`qub III has been preserved at this church since 1974. The mortal remains of Metropolitan Geevarghese Mor gregorious were interred in the sanctuary of the church on February 23, 1999. Patriarch Zakka I visited this church again in April 2000 to offer memorial prayers at the tomb of the late Metropolitan.

  • Perumpilly is a village with temples and church. One river is going through this place. For going from Perumpilly to Sourth Paravoor there is one ferry operated through country boat. It is a great experience to have this ferry. This village has got agricultural land.
  • Now foundation stone has been laid for a bridge over the river by Sri Oommen Chandy, Chief Minister of Kerala on 19th of Jan. 2012. This will replace the ferry in coming years. The area will be developed because of transportation between places like udayamperoor, amballoor, kanjiraqmattom, mulanthuruthy etc. at an ease and people will have more facilities. I look forward for completion of the bridge.
