The history of the Catholic Church in Kerala goes back to the times of the Apostolic Church. The trade between Rome and Muziris Port was prevalent even before the time of Jesus Christ. We welcome all of you to know more about the legacy of Catholic Church in Kerala and in India.
In the tapestry of human history, one figure stands out as a beacon of love, compassion, and profound wisdom – Jesus, Our Lord & Master. His teachings, recorded in the pages of the New Testament, transcend time and cultural boundaries, offering a timeless guide to living a life of purpose and virtue.
