About Idukki Diocese |
|
The diocese of Idukki was erected by His
Holiness Pope John Paul II bifurcating
the diocese of Kothamangalam. The bull of
creation ‘Maturescens Catholica Fides’ was
promulgated on 19-12-2002, the declaration
was on 15-01-2003 and the Eparchy was
inaugurated on 02-03-2003. The eparchy is
dedicated to MAR SLIBHA. The name of the
district 'Idukki' is supposed to be
derived from the Malayalam word 'idukku'
which means a narrow gorge. The river
Periyar, which is one of the largest rivers
of Kerala, is flowing through Idukki and the
gorge formed between the two high massive
hills called "Kuravan" and "Kurathi", is the
site of the gigantic Idukki Arch Dam. The
total area of the diocese is covered by
the mountainous hills and valleys, and dense
forests. |
