புனித சின்னப்பர் தேவாலயம் – Punitha Chinnappar Thevalayam
About 200 years ago the Catholic community converted by St. Francis Xavier and other Catholic community from Somantheperi came and settled in mylapuram near Mukudal. The clash and conflicts between the two groups paved the way for the migtation of the community and the creation of Singamparai. The Catholics from Somanathaperi bought the northern side of Mylapuram from a Muslim land – lord of Pettai and settled there with the help of Rev. Fr. Paul Nather, the visiting missionary. There after it was named as Singamparai. A small chapel was built here and the statue of St. Paul was installed in it, which was removed from the Church of St. Peter and Paul at Mylapuram.

About Our Saint
Paul the Apostle (c. AD 5 – c. AD 67; variously referred to as the “Apostle Paul” or “Saint Paul”),[2] also known as Saul of Tarsus, is described in the Christian New Testament as one of the most influential early Christian missionaries, with the writings ascribed to him by the church forming a considerable portion of the New Testament. The influence on Christian thinking of the epistles ascribed to him has been significant,[3] due in part to his association as a prominent apostle of Christianity during the spreading of the Gospel through early Christian communities across the Roman Empire.
