Kathrikadavu is a region in the city of Kochi, in the state of Kerala, India. It lies almost midway between the two major intersections (junctions) in Kochi, namely Kaloor and Kadavanthra. Kathrikadavu is mainly a residential area, though of late more and more commercial establishments are being set up here. Kaloor-Kadavanthra Road, one of the three north-south arteries in the city of Kochi passes through Kathrikadavu. One of the main advantages of Kathrikadavu, is the ease of access to other areas of Kochi city from here. Kaloor and Kadavanthra are at the north and south ends of the Kaloor-Kadavanthra road, while Padma Junction and MG Road can be accessed easily by following the Pullepady road to the west side of Kathrikadavu. Thammanam and NH47 bypass can be accessed by following the Thamannam-Kathrikadavu road towards east.

Syro-Malabar Catholic Major Archeparchy of Ernakulam–Angamaly
Syro-Malabar Catholic Major Archeparchy of Ernakulam–Angamaly

The Major Archeparchy of Ernakulam–Angamaly is the major archeparchy and the See of the Major Archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Major Archiepiscopal Church (sui iuris). Mar Cardinal George Alencherry is the present Major Archbishop, and until July 2022 Archbishop Mar Antony Kariyil CMI was the Vicar of Major Archbishop, responsible for the administration of the major archeparchy. Currently Mar Andrews Thazath, Archbishop of Thrissur Archeparchy, was appointed by the Holy Father Pope Francis as the apostolic administrator of the same, replacing Mar Antony Kariyil. The Syro-Malabar Catholic Church was elevated to the status of a major archiepiscopal church in 1992 with Ernakulam-Angamaly as the primatal see. Kothamangalam and Idukki are the two suffragan eparchies of the major archeparchy. The major archbishop of Ernakulam-Angamaly is the main bishop of the jurisdiction, at the same time the head of the Syro-Malabar Church. The major archeparchy of Ernakulam-Angamaly occupies a prominent position in the history of the Syro-Malabar church. 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.
