St.Johns
Cathedral Church ,Thiruvalla
 This
church was built in 1972 ,The church building
is structured to suit the liturgical orientation
of an individual church It is an exemplar for
all churches in a diocese.This church has a
unique architechrel design, which was done by
an ingenious architect, the well sort after,
Mr. Larry Becker.
The Arch Bishop of that time was attracted by
this man's talent in architechrel designs and
approached him with the proposition to design
the Cathedral, which was yet to materialize
in the heart of the town.
This cathedral is set up high on 12 pillars
symbolizing after the 12 apostles of Christ.
The pillars are positioned in a manner to shape
the whole cathedral in to a wide circle. The
stone walls reach a height of about 10 feet
and the roof about 75 feet .The cross erected
above the cathedral is about 25 feet in length.The
Cathedral does not have pillars built in the
central part, the dais is built such a manner
that the believers who come to worship can have
an unbroken view of the dais, standing any side
of the cathedral.
