Mary Help of Christians feast day celebrated on May 24. Saint John Chrysostom was the first person to use this Marian title in year 345 as a devotion to the Virgin Mary. Don Bosco also propagated Marian devotion under this title. In 1572, Pope Pius V invoked Christian armies and its victory achieved was consequently attributed to the intercession of Mary under this title. Ultimately, Pope Leo XIII granted a canonical coronation towards the Marian image bearing the same title on 17 May 1903.
Priests From our Parish
Mylavaram (1969) was bifurcated from Kondapalli and was canonically erected as a parish in December 1971. It was first known as Kondapalli North with headquarters at Chandragudem, three miles away from Mylavaram.
Fr.D. Barbero PIME, pioneer Missionary of this region, built the chapel at Chandragudem and it was blessed on 02th September, 1856. After the departure of Fr.Barbero, it was under the jurisdiction of Machilipatnam till 1864. In 1973, Fr.John Leoncini had a chapel built in the place of the old one.
In 1974, the parish headquarters was shifted to Mylavaram where Fr.Mathew Cheriankunnel built the church. The present presbytery at Mylavaram was built by Fr. Joseph Ezharath in 1978 and the old and one was given to the Sisters for their residence and taken back for the parish Orphanage. The present Presbytery was built by Fr. T. Daniel in 2004. The parish Church also was renovated by Fr. Daniel in 2003.
