St. Sebastian Church, Vazhichal
The beginning of this church was the donation of nine cents of land and construction of a building at own expense to the church by Mr. Kunjipaulo Kochupaulo, Mukrappilly, at Vazhichal, near the Railway station at Koratty, for teaching the children ‘nilathezhuthu’ (meaning writing on the floor for learning letters) and ‘vedopadaesham’(meaning teaching Bible). Later some more land was donated. Holy Mass was started here from 1964 onwards. Then the parish purchased some more land adjacent to the chapel.
Vazhichal church is under the direct administration of Koratty parish. The new church was blessed by Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil on 16th of February 2006. The feast of St. Sebastian is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of the month of January.

Holy Family Church, Kattappuram
The foundation stone for Holy Family Church was laid on 8th of September 1997 in a land owned by the parish at a place called Kattappuram, which is 1.5 kilometers west to the Koratty church. The construction of the church was completed within 15 months as a result of the tireless efforts and cooperation of the parishioners and plentiful help of the Koratty church. The consecration of the church was done by cardinal Mar Varkey Vithayathil, on 28th of December 1998. Rev. Fr. Kuriakose cheruvally who was the then parish priest of Koratty church gave leadership for the construction activities. A priest was appointed here from 3rd of February 2001 onwards. Now this church functions as an independent station church under the Koratty parish.
