About the Location

Audrey is from Bendoor parish and Nithin is from Kelarai parish. Unfortunately, neither of them could get the nuptials accomodated in their respective parishes so the nuptials will be held in the Kulshekar parish instead.

Historical information on the Holy Cross church, Cordel

Although the church was not yet built then, the French missionary, Fr. Jean-Antoine Dubois served as the first parish priest of the Cordel parish from 1873, until his death on December 12, 1877. His service to the parishioners of Cordel gave him the nickname "Fraadh Saibh of Cordel".

The cross discretely worshipped in the Cordel forest by the Catholics who escaped the Seringapatam captivity was ceremoniously brought by Fr. Dubois to the Cordel plateau, where the Cordel Church now stands. When his vision to raise a grand church at Milagres failed to fructify, he shifted his base to Cordel. He met the expenses of this work through 30,000 Francs given to him by his family and another 30,000 francs given by his godfather – which otherwise would have been utilized for Milagres foundation stone for the church on September 14, 1873. The church was eventually opened in 1904
