History
Erected on February 26, 1977, the Eparchy of Satna is an Eastern Catholic jurisdiction of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, based in the town of Satna and spread across the northern part of the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. After a half-century of evangelization in Madhya Pradesh, it was made a suffragan eparchy of the Archeparchy of Ujjain.
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.
