History

Before becoming a separate church, it used to be a part of a church in Hasnabad.

The Church was formally established on May 15, 1894, with the founding of Tuitial Dharmapalli. To accommodate the increasing number of worshippers, a new church building named ‘Tuitial Church of the Holy Spirit’ was constructed adjacent to the original structure in 1924. Since then, the church has remained an active hub for religious and community activities. [1]

In media

The 1993 film Ekattorer Jishu (Jesus of '71), based on Shahriar Kabir's novel of the same name, was filmed near the Church and along the banks of the Ichamati River.
