Born on May 5 , 1816 , in Kaippata Village , near Tiruvalla , Kerala to parents Adityan and Unni Thangom, belonging to Aadi Cherama , a Royal Family of ancient Travancore. Aryan migration  caused their downfall and eventually , the community became labour class. His Hindu name was  Daivathan [ Means Man of God ] ; Married Poovom ; Son Udayan [ Rising Sun ] ; Daughter  Chothi [ Jyothi – Flame ]. All Baptized on the same day , on September 6 , 1854.

Following Baptism , he learnt Theology from Europeans and traveled far and wide establishing  congregations and churches. Stephanose Vattappara and Habel together spread the Gospel of  Christ  to thousands of people who took Baptisms and joined the Church.

Habel died at the age of 84 on August 18 , 1899.His funeral was attended by Bishop Edward  Noel  Hodges. People revered him as a Saint. On September 6 , 2003 , Arch Bishop Dr. Stephen  Vattappara , declared him as a *Saint , in a solemn function held at Tiruvalla.

At Kallooppara , a nearby Village of Kaippatta , The Arch Diocese had constructed a Church. This was named after St.Hebel of Kaippatta. The present President of ICCC , Dr.Kwang Jae Choi declared the Church after the name of St.Habel on Sunday 22 January , 2006 during divine service. [ *See our concept of a Saint ]

Every true believer in Jesus Christ is a Saint [ Phili.1.1; Col.1.2 ] ; Yet there are some among the saints who deserve better recognition. David delighted in them [ Ps.16.3 ]  Daniel tells that the wise and righteous will have special place in eternity [ 12 .3 ]. 

Jesus tells that the righteous will shine forth in the Father’s Kingdom [ Mt.13.43 ]. As some Churches teaches , the Anglican Churches do not consider the Saints as intermediaries ; But revere and remember them ; cherish their memory as the Scripture teaches [ Heb.13.7 ].
