The first mass was held by Rt. Rev. Fr. Leon Dharmaraj, the Bishop of Roman Catholic Diocese of Kottar. There were about 800 families in this original church.

GalleryFishing harboursAlong Tamil Nadu's {{convert|1076|km|abbr=on}} coastline, there are 3 major fishing harbours, 4 medium fishing harbours, and 10 fish-landing centres developed for safe berthing of boats and for hygienic landing and handling of fish catches. Chinnamuttom has the only fishing harbour in Kanyakumari District. The harbour was constructed between 1984 and 1994 at the cost of 684.70 lakhs under a 50% Government of India (GOI) grant.[3] The construction of the harbour encouraged the local fishing fleet to grow from 70 mechanized boats and 100 country boats to 143 mechanized boats, 166 country boats and 20 fibre-reinforced boats by 1994.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} The fishing season is June to March. During the months of April and May, the vessels are not allowed into the sea due to the fishes' reproductive season, and are instead moved to dry-land and are repaired, painted, and refreshed in the vessel-building yard. Expansion of harbourThe harbour was badly damaged in the 2004 tsunami. After conducting various studies, the state government decided to carry out an expansion work. The existing eastern breakwaters area were lengthened and a new breakwater area formed on the western side. Once expanded, the harbour could house 150 more mechanized boats, benefiting around 1,500 fishermen. {{As of|2013|post=,}} there are 300 mechanized boats, 115 fibre-reinforced boats and 15 country boats in the harbour. Another 500 mechanized boats from the nearby areas use the harbour.[4]Marine PoliceA three-level Coastal Security Scheme (CSS) is being implemented{{when|date=February 2016}} to safeguard the Indian coast. One of the (CSS) measures is Marine Police, who patrol up to 12 nautical miles from the coast. The Tamil Nadu coastline of {{convert|1076|km}} is to be guarded by 12 Marine Police stations, 10 outposts, and 100 check posts. In Kanyakumari District, Chinnamuttom and Colachel have Marine Police stations. {{As of|2009|post=,}} there are typically 6–7 coastal security boats in Chinnamuttom Harbour.[5] Indian Ocean Tsunami{{main|2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami}}The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami caused significant damage to the harbour. The tsunami arrived in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu along the southeast coast of the Indian mainland shortly after 9:00 a.m. At least two hours later, it arrived in the state of Kerala along the southwest coast. Tamil Nadu and Kerala were extensively damaged, while Andhra Pradesh sustained moderate damage. On the southeast coast it arrived at 9:05 a.m. at Visakhapatnam, 9:05 a.m. at Kakinada, 9:05 a.m. at Chennai, and 9:37 a.m. at Tuticorin. On the southwest coast it arrived at 11:10 a.m. at Kochi and 12:25 p.m. at Marmagoa. There were two to five waves of varying amplitude. The water receded after the first wave struck. On the western coast, the run-up elevations were {{convert|4.5|m}} at Kanyakumari District in Tamil Nadu. The time lapse between the waves also varied from about 15 to 90 minutes.
