The establishment of the Syro-Malabar diocese is a historical landmark in the history of the Syro-Malabar church. Until the establishment of this diocese, the Syro-Malabar church was confined to India only. The establishment of the diocese helped the immigrant Syro-Malabar Catholics to practice their rite in the U.S.A.

There are more than 100,000 Indian Catholics following this rite in U.S.A and Canada and the number is increasing on account of the immigration of professionals.

The diocese has established eight parishes in the different parts of the country but in places where the number of Syro-Malabar Catholics is not very large, mission centers are being established.

The Knanaya community has their own missions under the pastoral guidance of Knanaya priests and they also come under the diocese.
