The former Pompador Cinema Theatre in the Palayam area of Trivandrum was converted into a church, and consecrated on 11 March 1933. The enthronement of Archbishop
Mar Ivanios took place in this pro-cathedral on the same day. The roof of the new church was made of tin sheets, therefore people called it the 'Tin Church' (Thakara Palli). In 1991 the 'Tin Church' was replaced with a new building; Archbishop
Benedict Mar Gregorios dedicated this new church to
St. Mary, Queen of Peace. The Church was renovated and blessed by Major Archbishop Cardinal
Moran Mor Baselios Cleemis on 4 October 2019. ==See also==
