History

Sagar is an Eastern Catholic eparchy of central India belonging to the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church (of the Chaldean or Syro-Oriental Rite, led by the Major Archbishop), a suffragan in the ecclesiastical province of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Archeparchy of Ujjain. First created as a missionary jurisdiction in 1968, it was promoted to a diocese in 1977 through the papal bull Divina Verba of Pope Paul VI. St. Theresa's Cathedral in Saga(u)r is its cathedral episcopal see.
