History
Pope Francis erected the Diocese of Coari (Latin: Dioecesis Coaritana) on 9 October 2013 as part of the Ecclesiastical Province of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manaus, based in Manaus, Brazil, with its seat in the city of Coari. From its elevation the see has been led by its first bishop, Marek Marian Piatek, C.Ss.R., a native of Poland and a member of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (the Redemptorists).
What is kept by invitation
The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.
The working record is not. The chancery's address, telephone and email, the clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
