  Two independent Telugu Christian migrations took place in the 18th Century. One of that refers to the history of the Kilacheri Church.
  In 1786 this Telugu Mission consisting of 300 families migrated from Oleroo on the banks of Krishna in the Guntur district, under the guidance of their Priest Rev Fr Mannenti.
  This migrated Mission settled on the large tract of waste land, in the villages of Cooum Mappaydoo and Cotoor, obtained from the Government.
  In 1886 it came under the Archdiocese of Madras and in 1952 it came under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Madras – Mylapore.
  The 300th Jubilee of all the Telugu Christians was celebrated on 11 December 2003 in this Parish.
  Kilacheri Parishioners celebrate their church festival on May 28 each year.
