St. John de Britto’s Church, remains a beacon of light, facing the gentle breeze and surfing waves of the Arabian Sea just like a colossus that has vanquished all forces of evil – a true symbol of serene love and peace. Over the years it has turned out to be a haven of spiritual bliss, a connecting link of the social fabric, a forum for cultural interactions of the people of Sakthikulangara, a coastal village in Kollam district, of Kerala. Sakthikulangara parish - 7 kms north of Kollam city - is a tiny landmass that is almost sandwiched between the Arabian sea on the west and the Ashtamudy lake on the northern and eastern side The landscape is almost split by the National Highway 47 . Ozhukkuthode,a flowing rivulet, on the southern border and Kattackal lake on the eastern side provide the land strip a rare mix of environmental charm.The estuary where Ashtamudy lake pours into Arabian sea touches the northern side of the land strip, making it a natural harbor. Sunrise and sunset here provide a beautiful panorama of nature’s bounty.
