Thoothoor is a coastal village located in the southern district of Tamil Nadu, called Kanyakumari bordering the state of Kerala in India. The Catholic Church plays a conspicuous role in the day-to-day life of the fishermen of Thoothoor village; the conversion of the Hindu fishermen of this village may be traced back to A. D. 1544. The event cumulated in the works of St. Francis Xavier, said to have converted 10,000 Mukkuva fishermen living in thirteen villages along the coast in December 1544. In 1600, the Thoothoor Parish Church was brought under the Padroado. Subsequently, this Parish came under the Diocese of Cochin. In 1838, St. Thomas Church and other adjacent coastal Churches from Pallithura to Erayumanthurai were brought under the Diocese of Varapuzha; this unification brought the Padroado–Propaganda dispute to a crucial stage. St. Thomas Church, Thoothoor was brought under the Diocese of Cochin with its revival in 1850; the Diocese of Thiruvananthapuram was founded on 1 July 1937. But only in 1952 were all the coastal Churches from Pallithura to Erayumanthurai added to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Trivandrum or Thiruvananthapuram Diocese.

Thu,s at present Thoothoor Parish Church is one of the Foranate Churches of Trivandrum Diocese. Thoothoor is a coastal village, it is the headquarters of Thoothoor panchayat, consisting of five villages, namely Thoothoor, Eraviputhenthurai and Erayumanthurai. These five villages together are just called Thoothooor. Thoothoor is geographically located in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu India, it is located 45 km west of Nagercoil, the headquarters of Kanyakumari District and 40 km southeast of Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala State. Thiruvananthapuram Airport is the nearest airport and the railway station is at Parassala or Kuzhithurai. Thoothoor is exclusively a fishing village though a little group of people are involved in agriculture in coconut plantations, besides their primary occupation in other professions; the fishing operation in this village is most restricted to a coastline the length of one-kilometer. Its total population is about 6,000; this village is bounded in the north by the A.

V. M Canal, south by the Arabian Sea, east by Poothurai west by Chinnathurai village, but most of the people of this village are settled in the north of Thoothoor Panchayat up to a length of about 500 meters due to the danger of a tsunami. The Tamil Nadu Government constructed a housing colony named St. Thomas Colony in this zone; those who are settled in the above zone consider themselves part and parcel of the village of Thoothoor. As per Government demarcation, this zone is part of Ezhudesam Town Panchayat, but this zone merged with the village. As of 2007, Thoothoor is the home of several significant economic sources; the main business is Shark catching, using modern equipments such as other Navigation tools. The average cost of one fishing boat is 30–60 lakhs in Indian currency. Fishermen go fishing in the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. Boat owners travel in and around Tamil Nadu state and neighboring states such as Kerala, the more distant state of Maharashtra. Now a few boat owners have moved to the Nicobar Islands for deep sea fishing.

The sweat of our boat owners and fishermen working with them make wonders to their generation. Fisherman support their families by fishing and hence their families are able to afford higher education. Thus, just like modern cities most of the kids are getting higher education in a good atmosphere with a tremendous amount of good energy; the positive energy flourishes in success's path on each and every Thoothoor native. The children should be proud to have had such hard working ancestors and parents; the main road allows money to be exchanged from the shark business and shark merchandise, as well as some other fish on a small level. In terms of jobs, in Thoothoor there are a few main sectors, a large number of people from this place are working in their respective industries such as IT, education, educational management, the medical field, business management, mechanical engineering, marine engineering, electrical engineering, etc. All such people are trained professionals, a few PhD holders in mathematics, history and physics.

There are masters in IT professional, fish merchandise, teachers in education sectors and a few health services. A few hundred people are working in the Persian Gulf in countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc. A fewer number of people working are in the USA, Canada and New Zealand; the mechanical engineers and marine engineers work on local ships. Some MBAs are working at south Indian bank; some marine engineers work in international ships in the deep sea. They travel to various countries. There are a few hundred natives of Thoothoor working in Chennai, Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram; the few people working locally work in small businesses and agriculture. Agriculture resources are: Government buses Taxi Auto rickshaws Private buses for traveling to distant cities such as Chennai and Bangalore The nearest train station is in Kuzhithurai, 10 km away Thiruvananthapuram international airport is about 40 km Education plays a vital role in Thoothoor; the Government Primary School provides education to the poor.

The private schools include: St. Jude’s College, Thoothoor It is affiliated with Manonmaniam Sundaranar Unive
