Little Flower Parish, Manikbathan, was bifurcated from Sundermor Parish in 1997. Rev. Fr. Jose Kunnumpuram, who was the Parish Priest of Sundermor, moved to Manikbathan as the first Parish Priest. The Sisters of charity of St. Anne (Gujarat) established a convent and share the responsibilities of the parish and mission activities, which includes a middle school with large number of children.
