With the decision of the synod of bishops of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church and under the guidance of Mar Raphael Thattil, the Syro Malabar Bishop of Shamshabad, a delegation made a visit to the North -Eastern States of Tripura, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh from 7 May to 18 May 2019. On the basis of this visit and after much prayers, reflections and discussions together with the guidance of the Major Archbishop of Syro-Malabar Church Archbishop Mar George Alenchery, the Bishops took the decision to start the evangelical mission of the Syro Malabar Church in Northeast India. Thus the Eparchy of Irinjalakuda was invited to start a mission in the Northeast. The Bishop of Irinjalakuda accepted the Divine invitation and started the Silchar Syro-Malabar Catholic Mission - in short Silchar Mission - with St. Paul the Apostole of the Gentiles as the Heavenly Patron. On the day of the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady, 15 August 2019, the first mission house and chapel dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus were blessed at Silchar and the solemn Holy Qurbana was offered.

Pope Francis, on 26 March 2015 by the Decree N 7780/15 also erected the St. John Chrysostom Diocese for the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church which include the North Eastern region of India. The mission to North East India is presently under the care of Rev. Fr. Jigmy Thomas, Rev. Fr. Justin Raj R. and Rev. Fr. Sabi Varghese.
