Abstract: Kerala, called “The Cradle of Christianity in India” has always had the credit of having the largest number of Christians in India. Christian society existed from the commencement of the Christian era in India, especially in Kerala. Few historians of the 13th century opine that pope Innocent III deputed some Franciscans and Dominicans for the propagation of the Christian faith at Quilon, Mampally-near Anjengo and Veliathura – near the port. As a result of their evangelization a Diocese in Quilon was established in 1329 by Pope John XX11
