The Syriac Catholics ("Syro-Malabar") were under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Verapoly (formerly known as Malabar vicariate) and European bishops since the 1600s. Pope Leo XIII separated the Syro-Malabars from Latin jurisdiction. The vicariates of Ernakulam, Thrissur and Changanassery were carved out for Syro-Malabar Catholics by the late 19th century. Ernakulam–Angamaly was established as a Vicariate by the Bull Quae Rei Sacrae of Pope Leo XIII on 28 July 1896 and Mar Louis Pazheparambil was appointed as the first figure apostolic, who assumed charge on 5 November 1896. Under the able guidance of Mar Pazheparambil, the vicariate began to flourish. The city of Ernakulam was chosen to be the location for the Bishop's house which was completed and blessed on 24 April 1900.
