About Diocese of Kannur
The Diocese of Kannur is a vibrant faith community in the northern part of Kerala, entrusted with the mission of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serving the people of God with love, justice, and compassion.
Its roots go back to the missionary history of the Church in Malabar, where the faith was nurtured through the witness of dedicated priests, religious, and lay faithful. Over the centuries, the Church in this region grew through prayer, education, charity, and pastoral care.
Today, the Diocese of Kannur continues this missionary spirit through parishes, schools, hospitals, social outreach, and pastoral ministries. The faithful are called to live as disciples of Christ, committed to building a just and humane society in the light of the Gospel.
