  • The Roman Catholic Church at Mukkad is situated at the Ashtamudi lake coast.It is one of the parishes belonging to the Diocese of Quilon which is the oldest and the first catholich diocese in the East.The parish is itself two hundered years old.The first church became small and it was enlarged in the middle of the last century in the form of a cross.With the time the church became small and old and it was replaced by a new and larger one. On 28.April 2007 the new Church, also cruciform in shape, was consecrated . It is as the old ,is dedicated to the holy Family.It took seven years to constuct and costed a lot of labour and money from the part of the parishioners.They can proudly call it their own.Situated near the lake is also the new St.Anthony`s Shrine, a modern structure.
