Apostolic Vicariate of Anatolia


The Apostolic Vicariate of Anatolia is a Roman Catholic Latin apostolic vicariate, in the eastern half of Anatolia.
The missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction is not part of any ecclesiastical province. Under the direction of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches, an unusual structure for a Latin see, it is directly dependent on the Holy See.
Its cathedral seat is the Marian Cathedral of the Annunciation in İskenderun. It has the Co-Cathedral of St. Anthony of Padua in Mersin as well.

History

As of 2020, the vicariate, which covers 450k square kilometers, had six parishes and two missions to serve a thousand Turkish Christians as well as Christian refugees from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
