St Pius Monastery Amanakara is 3 km away from the Ramapuram Junction in the Ramapuram - Koothattukulam Road. In 1954 Fr Chandy Njavallil, the vicar of the Forane Church of Ramapuram donated a plot of 50 cents of land to St Anne’s Monastery, Kurianad for conducting a Sunday School in Amanakara. More land was purchased and the construction of the Monastery began on July 19, 1955 under the leadership of Fr James Pallivathukal, who was generously helped by the local people. Mar Sebastian Vayalil, Bishop of Pala blessed and consecrated the Monastery and Chapel on March 18, 1956. On October 15, 1965 the Amanakara house was elevated to the status of a monastery. The foundation stone of St Pius Industrial Training Centre (ITC) was laid down on December 14, 1978 and was inaugurated on March 29, 1980 by K.M Mani, Honourable Finance Minister of Kerala State.
