Kanikai Matha Festival

It was then, on February 2, 1851, Rev. Fr. Martin, conceived of and inaugurated the Kanikai Matha festival. Thereafter, the Vadakamkulam parish priest started visiting Azhagai twice a year to gracefully and grandly celebrate the two festivals. In 1908, Rev. Fr. Gousanal of the Jesuits Order established Holy Communion at the Azhagai church. In 1910 Azhagappapuram was brought under the jurisdiction of Kootapuli parish.
