Mathew
Kadalikkattil - Servant of God
Fr. Mathew Kadalikkattil was born at Edappady near Pala on 25th
April 1872 as the second son of Cherian Kadalikkattil
and Rosa of Paikada Urumpel, a God fearing couple.
He was brought up in a serene atmosphere of peace, love, filial
obedience and fraternal amity. He responded to the voice of God
calling him to priesthood, joined the Seminary and he was ordained
as a priest of God on 11th Feb.1901. Fr. Mathew himself was an ardent
lover of Sacred Heart. He saw his fulfillment in making it real
by practicing an equally strong love for his fellowmen
He worked amidst for the parishioners for their spiritual and temporal
welfare with the affectionate solicitude of a mother and the prudent
concern of a father. As a parish priest he was very much like the
Cure De Ars who spent long hours in the Confessional and brought
about changes in the lives of many sinners and promoted ovations
to priesthood as well as religious life. In his attempt to emulate
his master who had compassion on the multitude he identified two
particular sections of the Community as deserving his special consideration.

One consisted of the poor young women including widows and the other
consisted of what may generally be described as the destitute orphaned
children and aged men and women. In order to spread the devotion to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus and as a solution to both the problems he spent long
hours on his knees before the blessed sacrament and finally he was inspired
to begin a new religious congregation for women known as Sacred Heart
Congregation on 1st of Jan. 1911. Now this congregation has spread all over
India spreading to more than 3000 members, 9 provinces and two regions. It
was his simple trust and dependence on providence that kept him always
confident of the ultimate realization of his plans. He reflected the peace,
love and forgiveness that shone in the Heart of Jesus.
he found the poor, the suffering, the sick, the disabled, the downtrodden, the insulted, the aged and the destitute in the society as his own brothers. He wanted to be a sure and safe abode or haven for all of them. They easily detected a saviour in him and the needy unburdened their grieves before him. All who had any contact with him felt that he was a man of God. As a parish priest he served the parishes of Pala Cathedral Lalam New and Old, Karoor and Kannadiyurumb. He was a selfless worker bent on doing good to the other person and his hard work made him sick and he was called to eternal rest on 23rd May 1935. Many devotees and the members of the Sacred Heart Congregation sought his intercession and they all felt satisfied. Canonization process started and he was called Servant of God on 14th May 1989.

are Kadappattoor Mahadeva temple, Lalam Siva temple, Ambalappurathu
Devi temple, Puliyannoor Mahadeva temple, Oorasala Subramania
Temple, Murikumpuzha Devi Temple, Puthiakavu Devi Temple
and Chembittambalam of Chethimattom.
The emergence of Kadappattoor Mahadeva temple is a wonderful
incident. On July 14th of 1960 a woodcutter was cutting
a huge tree. When half of the tree was cut, the tree fell
to the opposite side. To the wonder of the woodcutter a
huge beautiful stone idol of Siva emerged from inside the
tree. The news of appearance of the Shiva idol spread like
a lightning through the middle Travancore.
Thousands of Pilgrims came to Kadappattoor to worship Lord
Siva. Gradually a temple was constructed in the North Indian
style. Gradually Kadappattoor has become a pilgrimage shelter
for the Shabarimala Pilgrims. This temple is situated on
the banks of Meenachil River. Elaborate arrangements are
provided for the pilgrims by the temple authorities.Lalam
Mahadeva temple and Ambalappurathu Devi Temple are situated
at the center of Pala municipal town. The Mahadeva temple
is being renovated by the Travancore Devaswam Board. Anakkulangara
Devi temple and Puliyannoor Mahadeva temple are other Pilgrim
centres of Sabarimala devotees.
