It is served by the Congregation of the Missionary Brothers of Saint Francis of Assisi (CMSF). The renowned architect J P Bright, Thiruvananthapuram, is the designer of this church. The church is built entirely of granite and situated in the midst of tea plantations. The name Pattumala means "hill draped in silk." It is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from Peermade and 24 kilometres (15 mi) from Thekkady.
