The '''Syro-Malabar Catholic Eparchy of Hosur''' is an [[Eastern Catholic]] [[eparchy]] headquartered in [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]], under the [[Syro-Malabar Catholic Church]]. It was established by [[Pope Francis]] on 10 October 2017, and Mar [[Sebastian Pozholiparampil]] was appointed its first bishop.<ref name=pr20171010>{{cite press release | publisher = Holy See Press Office | url = https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2017/10/10/171010d.html | accessdate = 24 May 2018 | title = Provisions for the Syro-Malabar Church, 10.10.2017}}</ref><br />
The cathedral is St. Antony's Syro-Malabar Catholic Cathedral Church at Noothenchery<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.syromalabarchennai.com/ | accessdate = 25 May 2018 | website = Syro Malabar Chennai| title = Welcome to the St. Antony's Syro-Malabar Cathedral Church Noothenchery, Chennai }}</ref> and the bishop's chancellory is at St. Thomas Pastoral Centre [[Ayanavaram]].<br />
<br />
The Syro Malabar Church is not a language-based community. It is an Oriental (Eastern Rite) Catholic church, in full communion with the Church of Rome.<br />
<br />
Before the creation of this Eparchy, the Chennai Mission was founded in 1981 to serve the Syro-Malabar community in [[Chennai]] (Madras). Priests from the Eparchy of Irinjalakkuda volunteered their time to travel to Chennai to provide members who were present in the cities for work and studies.<br />
<br />
Diocese of Hosur was blessed with a new priest, Fr. Shebin Chazhoor. He is from Perambur, St.Joseph Parish. He has completed his minor seminary at Irinjalakuda St.Paul's Minor Seminary. Later, he completed bph from [[Mary Matha Major Seminary]], [[Thrissur]]. He took his [[BTh]] from [[Papal Seminary]], [[Pune]].<br />
