Syro-Malabar Catholic Archdiocese of Changanassery, Catholic Metropolitan Archieparchy in Changanassery, India
The archdiocese extends across 8,450 square kilometers in Kerala, encompassing districts of Kottayam, Alappuzha, Pathanamthitta, Kollam, and Thiruvananthapuram.
Established as the Vicariate Apostolic of Kottayam in 1887, the institution transformed into the Vicariate of Changanacherry in 1896 before becoming an Archeparchy in 1956.
The archdiocese follows East Syriac liturgical traditions dating back to the early Christian presence in India, maintaining connections with Persian Christian heritage.
St Mary's Metropolitan Cathedral serves as the main religious center, with nearly 300 parishes supporting over 400,000 Syro-Malabar Catholics across the region.
The institution manages numerous educational facilities, including the first high school founded in 1891, contributing to both religious and academic development.
