St Peter's Church, Kodaikanal



The church of St. Peter at Kodaikanal is a very old church build in 1887 AD. The beautiful church was built by a pious Bishop of the Tinnevelly ( Tirunelveli ), called Bishop Robert Caldwell. It is more than 100 years old. This church is situated on a small hill top near Coaker's Walk. It has got a very small congregation.

The members of the church are carrying the mantle of the late Bishop Robert Caldwell. They have established a home for children in a nearby village called Mannavanur. This home will cater to the educational needs of little children who live on farmsteads, away from the village centers, where the children cannot walk and attend the schools.
