The Apostolic Prefecture of French Colonies in India (sometimes confusingly called 'of Pondicherry') was an exempt pre-diocesan jurisdiction for Latin Catholic missions in the colonial enclaves constituting French India.
History[edit]
In 1777 it was established as Apostolic Prefecture of the French Colonies in India, not entitled to a titular bishop, without a direct predecessor.
On 1886.09.01 it was suppressed, its territory being reassigned to the previously co-existent Metropolitan Archdiocese of Pondicherry (now Metropolitan Archdiocese of Pondicherry and Cuddalore).
