History
Announced by Pope Benedict XVI on 16 July 2012, the Diocese of Udupi (Latin: Dioecesis Udupiensis) has its seat in the Kallianpur town of Udupi District, Karnataka, India. Its territory takes in six civil talukas: Udupi, Bramavara, Karkala, Kapu, Kundapura and Byndoor, and the diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Bangalore. It now counts 47 parishes. Its newly elevated Cathedral was previously a parish church, the "Church of Our Lady of Miracles" or the Milagres Church: the parish was partitioned from the Mangalore Diocese, and the parish church was raised to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Miracles.
