DIOCESE OF BELTHANGADY

1. BRIEF HISTORY

The Diocese of Belthangady was erected by the Papal Bull “CUM AMPLA”, dated 24th April 1999, of HisHoliness Pope John Paul II as a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Thalasserry. This diocese has been establishedfor the Syro-Malabar Catholics of the three civil districts of Karnataka State, viz., Kodagu, Dakshina Kannadaand Udupi. It took more than 50 years for the Syro-Malabar Catholics living in this area to become a Diocese.It has a prehistory.

In the middle of the 20th century there were lot of migrations from Southern Kerala to Northern Kerala, tothe southern parts of Karnataka and South Western parts of Tamil Nadu. The migration of Syro-MalabarCatholics to various parts of Karnataka, mainly Dakshina Kannada, Kodagu, Chickmagalur, Shimoga districtstook place in 1950s. The migration to these areas were encouraged by the availability of agriculture land and theencouragement from the then Madras Government.

The spiritual needs of these Syrian Catholics were met by the Latin Dioceses of Mangalore, Mysore,Chickmagaluru.

The Diocese of Tellicherry was erected by the Bull ‘Ad Christi Ecclesiam Regendaam’ on 31st December1953 by His Holiness Pope Pius XII of happy memory, as a suffrogan of the Archdiocese of Ernakulam, for theCatholics of Syro-Malabar Church migrated to Malabar from Travacore and Cochin states. Mar SebastianVallopilly became the first Bishop of the Diocese.

As the Catholics of of the Syro-Malabar community migrated even to the states of Karnataka and Tamilnadu,the boundaries of Tellicherry Diocese were extended to the present Latin Dioceses of Mangalore, Chickmagalur,Mysore, Shimoga and Ootacamund on April 29, 1955.

In order to overcome the hindrances of language the CMI Fathers came with helping hands and later

priests from the Diocese of Tellicherry. The cultural difference especially the language difference was a problem

for the priests from Tellicherry for the fruitful pastoral activities here. So the development of the parishes in

Karnataka remained far behind comparing to the parishes in Kerala.

In March 1, 1973, the Diocese of Mananthavady was formed by bifurcating the Diocese of Tellicherry.

The territory of the new Diocese was extended to the districts of Shimoga, Chickmagaluru, Hassan, Mandya,

Chamarajanagara and Mysore in Karnataka. The districts of Dakshina Kannada (including present Udupi District)

and Kodagu remained under the Diocese of Tellicherry.

As Dakshina Kannada (including present Udupi District) is in Karnataka State with a different language

and culture, it was difficult to cater to the spiritual needs of the faithful directly from Thalassery. Hence it was

declared a Mission Province of the Archdiocese of Thalasserry on the 11th November 1979 by Mar Sebastian

Vallopilly and appointed Very Rev. Fr. K.M. Peter as the Episcopal Vicar of the Mission. Very Rev. Fr. Peter

Koottiany was the Episcopal Vicar of D.K.Mission till May 16, 1997. During the 18 years of his able and

dedicated leadership the D. K. Mission grew to become a Diocese later.

Very Rev. Fr. Lawrence Mukkuzhy succeeded Very Rev. Fr. K.M. Peter as the Second Episcopal Vicar

on the same day. The Mission grew up and finally in April 24, 1999, the Diocese of Belthangady was erected by

the Papal Bull “CUM AMPLA” of His Holiness Pope John Paul II as a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Thalasserry

and Msgr. Lawrence Mukkuzhy was appointed as the first Bishop of the Diocese. This Diocese has been

established for the Syro-Malabar Catholics of the three civil districts of Karnataka State, viz., Kodagu, Dakshina

Kannada and Udupi. The diocese was inaugurated on 4th August 1999.
