Attur Church, Karkala, Udupi

We learn that the shrine of St. Lawrence at Attur – Karkala parish seems to have been in existence even before 1759 A.D. The parish church in those days was situated at a place about 7 kilometers away from the present church. In the year 1839 it was replaced by another building. It was about 4 Kilometers away from the previous one. This new building happened to be on the back of the present church and was facing west. A small flower garden is standing in that place now. St. Lawrence of Attur is known for his astonishing power of intercession with God. Over the past years the patronage of St. Lawrence over Attur has been remarkable.
