The Syro-Malabar Major Archbishop’s Curia (Office) is situated on a small hillock named Mount St Thomas, on the Ernakulam-Kizhakambalam road, 12 kilometers away from Ernakulam town. According to the canons of the Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches the major archbishop who is also the bishop of a diocese must have two separate offices, one for his diocese and another for the entire Church over which he presides. Though ideally both offices are to be found in the same place due to the non-availability of enough space it was decided to construct this latter office in its present site. It was Archbishop Abraham Kattumana, the late Pontifical Delegate to the Syro-Malabar Church, who initiated the project. A plot measuring 21.5 acres belonging to the Novodaya Film Studios was purchased for this purpose. The foundation stone of the new building was laid on 16th November 1995 by the late Cardinal Antony Padiyara, the first Major Archbishop. On completion of the building he himself blessed it on 3rd July 1998. The offices were inaugurated by the present Major Archbishop Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil, C.Ss.R.
