Chavara Bhavan, Kumaranalloor

Following the decree for the erection of St. Chavara Vice Province, a plot of land with a well-situated house at Kumaranalloor was purchased by St. Joseph Province, Kottayam, and entrusted to the Chavara Vice Province to serve as its transit house. Located just 3 km from Kottayam town, it was named Chavara Bhavan. For 13 years, it served faithfully as a mission house until a new and modern facility was constructed at Cheruvandoor. Fr. Reji served as the first prefect, succeeded by Fr. Dayon Edasseril and Fr. Inson Appasseril. Today, the building is rented out to certain personnel for their accommodation, continuing to remain a valuable asset of the Province.
