(14 Jul 10 – RV) On Wednesday Pope Benedict XVI has erected an Apostolic Exarchate for the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church in the United States and appointed Father Thomas Naickamparampil as its first bishop. The pope also appointed him Apostolic Visitator for the Syro-Malankara Catholics in Canada and Europe.
The erection of the exarchate and appointments were publicized in Washington, July 14, by Msgr. Jean-François Lantheaume, Chargé d'Affaires, at the apostolic nunciature in the United States.
Father Naickamparampil is a priest of the Major Archiepiscopal Eparchy of Trivandrum, India.
