History
Among the jurisdictions of the Syriac Catholic Church in Syria stands the Archeparchy of Hasakah-Nisibi(s), also written Al Hasakeh-Nisibi(s) and in French Hassaké-Nisibi, informally Hasakah-Nisibi(s) of the Syriacs. Though an archeparchy (an Eastern Catholic archdiocese) of this sui iuris church, which follows the Syro-Oriental Rite in the Syriac language, it is non-metropolitan and belongs to no ecclesiastical province, answering directly to the Syriac Catholic Patriarch of Antioch and to the Roman Congregation for the Oriental Churches. Its archiepiscopal see is the cathedral of the Assumption of Mary in Hasakah.

This see keeps no website of its own, so its chancery is published here: withholding it would protect nothing and leave a reader with nowhere to go. Where a see publishes its own site, the register sends you there instead.
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 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.
Sources
This record is compiled from the published statements of the see and the references of the Holy See, among them the Annuario Pontificio. On the method, see the keeping of the record. Whoever finds an error is asked, in charity, to write: [email protected].
