Mission sui iuris of Kalumburu
The Mission sui iuris of Kalumburu was a rather short-lived Roman Catholic missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction in Australia.History
It was established on 4 May 1910 as Mission sui juris of Drysdale River on territory split off from the Apostolic Vicariate of Kimberley in Western Australia. It was to remain exempt, i.e. directly subject to the Holy See, not part of any ecclesiastical province.
In 1971, it was renamed as Mission sui juris of Kalumburu.
In 1980 it was suppressed and its territory merged into the Roman Catholic Diocese of Broome.Ecclesiastical Superiors
