History
The Eparchy of Kottayam was erected exclusively for the Southist (Knanaya) Catholics in 1911 by the Apostolic letter ?In Universi Christiani? by Pope Pius X. The Knanaya Community traces its origin from a group of Jewish-Christian emigrants from Southern Mesopotamia to the South Indian port of Cranganore in AD 345, who formed themselves into an endogamous community. On May 09, 2005 the Major Archbishop issued the Decree ?The Eparchy of Kottayam? elevating it to the rank of a Metropolitan See without a suffragan eparchy.
