History of the Diocese
The
Malabar Diocese, which has extended in the western districts of Kerala,
was formed in 1953. Paulose Mar Sevarios and Pathrose Mar Osthathios
(1953-68) have executed its administration at different times. From 11
November 1966 Thomas Mar Timotheos became the diocesan head. From 1995
onwards, Dr. Yakob Mar Irenios is the auxiliary Metropolitan. Mount Hermon
Aramana in Kozhikode is the diocesan headquarters.
There are in the diocese 98 Churches, 1 Cathedral, 1 chapel, 2 Rambans, 2
Cor Episcopas, 53 priests, 4 deacons and 3 Seminarians. The St. Thomas
Home and Estate and the Aravanchal Estate at Erumamunda and Attapadi, and
Parumala Mar Gregorios Orthodox Guidance Center are some of the
institutions functioning under the aegis of the diocese. The Attapadi St.
Thomas Mission Center comes under the Malabar Diocese. From 1997 onwards
the diocesan journal "Hermon Sandhesam" is being published. The Aramana is
situated 100 meters away from the Kattamgan junction on the Kozhikode-
Mookam route near the Regional Engineering College, Kozhikode.
