History
For years candidates to priesthood from Syro-Malabar Catholic Archdiocese of Thrissur are sent to Mangalapuzha Seminary, Aluva and St. Thomas Apostolic Seminary, Kottayam. But due to the accommodation and over crowding of students in seminaries, the Syro-Malabar Catholic Archdiocese of Thrissur
decided to construct a new seminary for the upcoming priests. The
foundation stone of the seminary was laid by First Metropolitan Archbishop of Thrissur, Joseph Kundukulam on December 8, 1997 in Mannuthy. Later on classes were started on June 1, 1998 by Metropolitan Archbishop of Thrissur, Jacob Thoomkuzhy. The seminary was formally inaugurated on August 15, 1998 by Mar Varkey Vithayathil, the then Apostolic administrator of the Syro-Malabar Church.
