After the establishment of St Berchmans English High School, Changanasserry by first Vicar Apostolic of Kottayam, Msgr. Fr. Charles Lavigne and clergy of Catholic Church in 1891, he laid the foundation stone of the college in 1895 on seeing the need for an institution of higher education in Travancore and Malabar region.[7] The college was established in 1922 by Venerable Mar Thomas Kurialacherry, Bishop of Changanassery diocese with the help of both the Catholic Church and the Travancore royal family.[7] In 1925, the college was transferred to its current place.

Venerable Mar Thomas Kurialacherry

In 1925, the college authorities decided to install the 12 feet tall statue of Christ the King, brought from Spain, on the top of the College Tower, on a 6 feet tall pedestal. The college chapel, built in 1940, was named Christ King's Chapel, after the installation of the statue.[8][9] Today, the college is affiliated to MG University, Kottayam.
