They were British officers and Tamils from the Madras regiment.&nbsp; Their spiritual needs were met by the Irish Secular Priests of the Madras Vicariate since Jabalpur was under the jurisdiction of Madras Vicariate then. Jabalpur was an out station of Kamptee then.<br>16.3.1845: Vishakhapatnam was erected Pro-Vicariate bifurcating it from the Madras Vicariate and the Jurisdiction was handed over to the missionaries of St. Francis De Sales of Annecy, France. Jabalpur becomes part of Vishakhapatnam and so the spiritual needs of the Roman Catholics from then on begin to be met the MSFS Priests. <a href=\"https:\/\/catholicdiocesejabalpur.in\/en-in\/history-of-the-diocese\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-neve-link-color-color\">Read More&#8230;<\/mark><\/a>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/catholicdiocesejabalpur.in\/en-in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/842"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/catholicdiocesejabalpur.in\/en-in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/catholicdiocesejabalpur.in\/en-in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catholicdiocesejabalpur.in\/en-in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/catholicdiocesejabalpur.in\/en-in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=842"}],"version-history":[{"count":132,"href":"https:\/\/catholicdiocesejabalpur.in\/en-in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/842\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1557,"href":"https:\/\/catholicdiocesejabalpur.in\/en-in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/842\/revisions\/1557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/catholicdiocesejabalpur.in\/en-in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
