Syro-Malabar Catholic Archeparchy of Kottayam, Catholic Metropolitan Archieparchy in Kottayam, India
The Archeparchy of Kottayam serves as a central ecclesiastical administrative center for Syro-Malabar Catholics in the Kerala region of southern India.
Pope Leo XIII established the Vicariate of Kottayam in 1887, separating Syrian Catholics from the Archdiocese of Verapoly to form an independent ecclesiastical jurisdiction.
The Archeparchy maintains traditional East Syriac liturgical practices while incorporating local Kerala customs within its religious ceremonies and administrative structure.
The institution operates numerous educational facilities and medical centers across Kottayam, providing services to both Catholic and non-Catholic residents.
This Archeparchy specifically serves the Knanaya Catholic community, descendants of 4th-century Christian merchants who migrated from South Mesopotamia to Kerala.
Inception: 1887
