The only church in the diocese of Chingleput dedicated to St.Jude’s is the church at Vanuvampet. Its Patron, St.Jude is the cousin of our Lord Jesus Christ and also the patron saint of hopeless cases.A brief reflection of its past reveals that in and around the years 1973-1977, the residents of this area used to visit the neighboring parishes for their devotional needs. It was then that the parish priest of St.Thomas Mount, Rev.Fr.Mathew along with a devoted Mr.Arokiam from nanganallur put up a prayer hall.
Rev.Fr.Philips, OMZ helped to purchase this holy pit of land. Mayilai Bishop Rt.Rev.R.Arulappa provided the remaining financial aid.

The devotion to St.Jude began to spread in and around Vanuvampet. Bishop Rt.Rev.Cashmir Gnanadickkam helped the further development of our church.
In 1997, Adambakkam parish priest Rev.Fr.Joseph Manickam, restructured and renewed the church. The auxiliary Bishop Rt.Rev.Lawrence Pious consecrated the church.
