Punalur was separated from the Diocese of Quilon and created into a
separate unit by the Bull “Verba Christ” of Pope John Paul II, issued
on December 21, 1985.
Belgian Carmelite Fathers were the First Fathers of Punalur and of
places around Punalur. During the second world war the First Fathers
had to go back, entrusting the Church work to the Diocesan clergy.
Bp Mathias Kappil was the first Bishop of the new Diocese of Punalur.
The Diocese of Punalur comprises the entire civil district of
Pathanamthitta, taluks of Kottarakara, and Kunnathur, Mavelikara, and
several pakuthies of the taluks of Karunagappally and Chengannur.
