The Eparchy of Tiruvalla was extended from the river Pampa to the south to the river Ponnani in the north. It was on February 14, 1958 that the Holy See by the Decree Prot.534/43, further extended the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Tiruvalla to the whole of Malabar Region of Kerala, the Civil Districts of Coimbatore, Nilgiris and Karur Taluk in Tiruchirappally Districts of Tamilnadu and the Districts of Mysore, Mandya, Hassan, Coorg, Chickmangalore, Shimoga and South Kanara in Karnataka.
After the extension of the Diocese, a few priests were sent to the new regions by His Excellency late Zacharias Mar Athanasios, the third Bishop of Tiruvalla. These pioneers of the Malabar Mission began to work zealously among the Malankara faithful, concentrating on a few centres like Bathery, Mananthavady, Nilambur, Edakkara, Karuvarakundu and Maikavu. In 1963 Mar Athanasios sent two priests to South Kanara (Karnata) to work among the Malankara faithful who had migrated from Kerala. Desiring to establish the identity of the Malankara Catholic Church and to accelerate the Reunion Movement in the newly organized territories, His Excellency Zacharias Mar Athanasios requested the Holy See to bifurcate the Diocese of Tiruvalla and to erect a new Diocese with Sulthan Bathery as its headquarters. His Holiness Pope John Paul II responded to the request and erected the new Diocese of Bathery on 28 October, 1978. His Holiness appointed Very Rev.Dr.Cyril Malancharuvil OIC, the then Superior General of the Order of the Imitation of Christ, as its first Bishop. Msgr.Cyril was consecrated on 28 December, 1978 at Mar Theophilos Nagar (St.Thomas Malankara Catholic Church Campus, Thirumoolapuram) Tiruvalla, by His Grace Benedict Mar Gregorios, the Metropolitan Archbishop of the Malankara Catholic Church.
It was on 2 February, 1979, that His Excellency Most Rev.Cyril Mar Baselios, the first Bishop of Bathery, officially took charge of the Diocese. The Enthronement (Sunthroniso) ceremony took place at the St.Thomas Pro-Cathedral at Sulthan Bathery. The existing 8500 Malankara Catholics were organized in 43 Parishes and Mission Stations by zealous and committed priests of whom 18 belonged to the Diocese of Tiruvalla and 2 belonged to the Bethany Ashram. 13 Bethany Sisters and 17 Sisters of the Deena Sevana Sabha also gave valuable services in different parts of the Diocese. After serious thought and prayerful reflection, it was concluded that the most urgent need in the Eparchy was nothing but proper community formation both in its ecclesial and social sense. The Archdiocese of Trivandrum and the Eparchy of Tiruvalla had generously given the services of some of their zealous and active priests. Thousands of families, besides some prominent priests came into the full communion of the Catholic Church. Many Parishes and Mission Stations were opened. In fact, many people from the Sister Churches requested the Eparchy to start the Malankara Catholic Mission Stations in their locality.
His Excellency Mar Baselios instituted a few departments for the effective realization of the goals set by the Eparchy. These were the departments of Catechetics, Youth, Family and Bible which were instituted in view of forming and uniting the whole people, namely, children, Youth Men and women, of the Eparchy. The Eparchy also gave due importance to its social commitment, taking seriously the life situation of the people around. The Eparchy chalked out a social programme aimed at promoting the integral growth of men and women. The Social Service Centre, named Shreyas, which is the official organ of the Eparchy of promoting justice and fellowship, is instituted in view of creating a more human and just society, based on Gospel values, through a scientific programme of mass education, mass mobilization and mass action. The Eparchy also started few educational institutions under the Corporate Educational Agency of the Eparchy to impart a value based education to the youth in the Diocese irrespective of caste and creed.
After 17 years of inspiring leadership in the Diocese, His Excellency Mar Baselios left for Trivandrum on 12 December 1995 as he was appointed Metropolitan Archbishop of Trivandrum and the Head of the Malankara Catholic Church. His Grace Cyril Mar Baselios took charge of the Church and of the Archdiocese of Trivandrum on 14 December 1995.
From 14 December 1995 till 5 February 1997 the Eparchy was led by Rev. Msgr.Thomas Thannickakuzhy as its Administrator. On 18 December 1996 His Holiness Pope John Paul II appointed Very Rev. Dr. Varghese Ottathengil, the then Rector of St.Mary’s Malankara Major Seminary, Trivandrum as the new Bishop of Bathery. Msgr.Varghese Ottathengil was consecreted a Bishop on 5 February 1996 at Mar Athanasios Nagar, Bathery (St.Joseph’s School Ground) by His Grace Cyril Mar Baselios, the Head of the Malankara Catholic Church.
Msgr.Mathew Nedungatt and Msgr.Thomas Thannickakuzhy served the Eparchy as its Vicar General from 1980-82 and 1984 to 1998 respectively. The Diamond Jubilee of the Malankara Reunion Movement was celebrated in the Eparchy of Bathery on 20, 21September 1990 at Sulthan Bathery.
His Eminence Wladislao Cardinal Rubin, the former Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches visited the Eparchy on 9 January 1981 and inaugurated the Pastoral Council and parish Senate in the Diocese.
The Eparchy of Bathery was blessed by the visit of His Eminence Simon D.Cardinal Lourdusamy, the then Prefect of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches on 25 August 1987.
Rev. Dr. Isaac Thottunkal was the Vicar general of the Eparchy from 1999 to 2001. Then he was appointed Apostolic Visitor for North America & Europe and Auxiliary Bishop of the Archieparchy of Trivandrum on 18 June 2001. His Excellency Rt.Rev.Dr Isaac Mar Cleemis was consecrated bishop on 15 August 2001 at St. Mary’s Malankara Catholic Church, Thirumoolapuram, Thiruvalla.
The Eparchy of Bathery celebrated its Silver Jubilee year from 28 October 2002 to 28 October 2003. The Silver Jubilee celebrations began with the Holy Qurbono by His Grace Most Rev.Dr.Cyril Mar Baselios, the first Bishop of Bathery and with the solemn declaration of the Jubilee year by His Excellency Most Rev.Dr.Geevarghese Mar Divannasios on 28 October at St.Thomas Cathedral, Bathery. The concluding celebration of the Jubilee year was held along with the 73rd Re-union celebration of the Malankara Catholic Church on 18 to 20 September 2003.
At present the Eparchy of Bathery comprises the Civil Districts of Wayanad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasargod of Kerala, Nilgiris of Tamil Nadu and Mysore, Mandya, Coorg, Hassan, Chickmangalore, South Kanara and Shimoga of the Karnataka State.
The Ecclesiastical Districts of the Eparchy at present are Bathery, Nilgiris, Nilambur, Kozhikode, Kannur, South Kanara and Shimoga.
