==Apostolic Exarchate==
An apostolic [[exarch]]ate in the [[Eastern Catholic Church]] is the equivalent of an [[apostolic vicariate]] in the Latin church - is created for the pastoral care of Catholics in an area outside the territory of the Eastern Catholic Church to which they belong.

In North America, there are 16 Syro-Malankara parishes and 15 churches serving about 10,000 Syro-Malankara Faithful. There are 30 priests and 34 women religious who minister to them. Syro-Malankara Catholics first began to migrate to the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, but did not have their own Congregations until 1984, settling first in the New York and Philadelphia Metropolitan Areas.<ref name=ncr/>
