EAST SADAYAMANKULAM PASTORATE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All Saint\u2019s Church, East Sadayamankulam<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Industry and agriculture had earned the\u00a0 name \u201cLittle Colombo\u201d to this fertile little village Christianized\u00a0 by Tirunelveli Apostle Rev. Rhenius.\u00a0 Today 90% of the villagers are Christians in this village.<\/span><\/p>\n
