Syro-Malabar Catholic Archdiocese of Tellicherry, Catholic Metropolitan Archieparchy in Thalassery, India.
The Syro-Malabar Catholic Archdiocese of Tellicherry extends across 4,902 square kilometers in Kerala, serving over 270,000 Catholic faithful through 254 parishes.
The archdiocese was established on December 31, 1953, following petitions from Syrian Christian settlers who migrated to Malabar during the 1930s.
The archdiocese maintains East Syriac liturgical traditions while conducting services in Malayalam, reflecting the integration of ancient practices with local language.
Saint Joseph's Cathedral in Palissery functions as the headquarters, where 475 secular priests provide religious guidance and pastoral care to the communities.
Cardinal Tisserant's visit to Malabar resulted in the formation of this archdiocese, addressing the specific needs of migrants unfamiliar with Roman traditions.
Inception: 1953
