Book on history of Wadel St. George Church Nayarambalam

വാടേല്‍ ഇടവകയുടെ ചരിത്രം
Got a wonderful book on history of St. George Church Wadel written by Fr. Isaac Kurishinkal, Ex. Vicar, St. George Church Wadel. Its a comprehensive study on Wadel Church and surrounding places etc. Most of the church records and details of the parish members are printed in the book.
The book contains tonnes of info.
  1. Lots of historic parish records including Thaliolas.
  2. Names and contact details of parish priests
  3. Names and details of priests and nuns from the parish
  4. Names and details of families of the parish
  5. List of chapels and their history in the jurisdiction of the parish
  6. List of institutions and their history in the jurisdiction of the parish
  7. Property details of the parish
The book is a tremendous work. Worth having a book in your library if you are residing in the place. So much information are there inside the book. But in the 488 pages, it is not only the history of Wadel Church or Nayarambalam village alone, even Roman history, diocese history are explained in detail. In some places you may feel these explanations are unnecessary.
After reading the book, I felt that the writer of the book did not mind the privacy of the people at all. The complete contact details including mobile phone numbers of several nuns and priests made available through the book to the public.

The book was publishe on 8th May 2011. Price of the book is Rs., 250/- And it is published by the author himself. Anyway it is a good effort to document many of the church records and history of the church and the place altogether. Kudos to Fr. Isaac Kurishinkal.
