This monastery was begun with the intention of rendering spiritual service to the Christians migrating to high ranges. Rev. Fr. Augustus Thekkanath was its first superior. The missionary endeavours of Rev. Fr. Pius Vallooran and Rev. Fr. Jose Vettukallumpuram can not but be remembered with gratitude. In May 1992, the Silver Jubliee of St. George Church at Calvary Mount was celebrated with due solemnity. The monastery was renovated in 1993 and blessed on 3rd, July on the feast day of St. Thomas. This monastery can rightly be regarded as the epicentre of all the developments of this village.
A parish with a strength of nearly 500 families is the main apostolic activity of the house.
Calvary K.G., L.P., U.P. and High Schools under the management of this monastery render a great service to the society.
