The Latin Archdiocese of Trivandrum has the territory consisting of Trivandrum and Chirayinkil Taluks of Thiruvananthapuram District with a small strip of coastal belt from Kovalam to Pozhiyoor in Neyyattinkara Taluk and Neerody to Eraimenthura of K.K. District in Tamilnadu.

Christianity in these parts dates from the time of the arrival of the Portuguese in India and perhaps earlier. It is very likely that the Franciscan and Dominican missionaries of the middle ages who evangelized Quilon and its suburbs worked also in Trivandrum. Some of the Churches of this Diocese claim to be of pre-Portuguese origin.

With the arrival of the Portuguese but especially with the advent of the pioneer missionary, St. Francis Xavier, Christianity spread far and wide in these parts with the result that by the close of the sixteenth century there were well-established Christian communities all along the coast. But unfortunately with the suppression of the Society of Jesus this missionary enterprise came to a close.

The second phase of the missionary enterprise in the Diocese begins with the dawn of the present century. The saintly Archbishop Benziger who became Coadjutor Bishop of Quilon in 1900 and Bishop in 1905 was the apostle who propagated Christianity in the Diocese through the fragrance of his saintly life, wise leadership and unceasing assistance to his missionary priests. In 1931 when he retired to the Carmel Hill Monastery there were Christian communities established in almost all places of the interior region. As early as 1919, Archbishop Benziger recommended the establishment of the Latin Diocese of Trivandrum, but it materialised only after his retirement.

On July 1, 1937, by the Bull "In Ora Malabarica" Pope Pius XI created the Latin Diocese of Trivandrum with the four taluks of Neyyattinkara, Nedumangad, Trivandrum and Chirayinkeezh bifurcated from the Diocese of Quilon. Bishop Vincent V. Dereere, OCD, Bishop of Quilon was transferred to the newly erected Latin Diocese of Trivandrum which was entrusted to the Carmelites of the Flanders Province (Belgium).

In 1952 when the Diocese of Alleppey was erected by the bifurcation of the Padroado Diocese of Cochin, the narrow strip of coastal parishes, which formed the Trivandrum Portuguese Mission, was temporarily annexed to the Latin Diocese of Trivandrum with Bishop Vincent V. Dereere, OCD, as its administrator. On May 20, 1955, this territory was definitely integrated into the Latin Diocese of Trivandrum.

On October 24, 1966, when Bishop Vincent V. Dereere, OCD resigned from the See of Trivandrum, Bishop Peter Bernard Pereira was the first Indian to be appointed Bishop of Trivandrum and the Diocese passed on into the hands of the indigenous Clergy.

On July 16, 1996, by the Bull "Ad Aptius Provehendum" of Pope John Paul II, the Diocese of Trivandrum was bifurcated to form the new Diocese of Neyyattinkara.

On June 03, 2004, His Holiness Pope John Paul II through the Apostolic Bull 'Sacratissimi Cordis Jesu', bifurcated the Ecclesiastical Province of Verapoly and errected Trivandrum as an Archdiocese with Alleppey, Punalur, Neyyattinkara and Quilon as its suffragan diocese and appointed Bishop M. Soosa Pakiam as its first Archbishop.

The Diocese of Trivandrum is bounded on the north by the Diocese of Quilon, on the East by the Diocese of Neyyattinkara, on the West by the Arabian Sea and on the South by the Diocese of Kottar.
