Originally part of Bela, the Catholics of Narampady faced a grueling 12-kilometer walk to attend Mass. Living in hardship and working as tenant farmers, their spiritual and social uplift began when Fr. Frank Peres secured land amidst dense forest to establish a local mission.

Bishop Victor R. Fernandes canonically erected the parish on June 15, 1942, appointing Fr. Piedade Pinto as its first resident pastor. Living in a simple 80-foot mud-walled structure that served as church, presbytery, and school, Fr. Pinto worked tirelessly to educate local children. His successor, Fr. Michael Noronha, deepened parish devotions and expanded the school to Grade V during his impactful 14-year tenure.

Progress accelerated under Fr. Frederick Moniz, who built a permanent presbytery, church building, and belfry while teaching construction skills to parishioners. He invited the Ursuline Sisters in 1967 and acquired property in Bovikanam for a future chapel—later built under Fr. Vincent V. Menezes.

Nurtured by a succession of dedicated pastors, religious sisters, and growing vocations to religious life, Narampady stands today as a inspiring testament to faith overcoming adversity.
