Archdiocese of Bengaluru

The mission in the Kingdom of Mysore was entrusted to the Paris Foreign Missions Society in 1845, which became an apostolic vicariate in 1850 under the leadership of Bishop Charbonnaux. Mysore became a diocese in 1886, but it was around the city of Bangalore that missionary work developed with the creation of parishes, convents, and schools. During the 20th century, the city of Bangalore itself became much more important than Mysore. For example, in 1904 it hosted the 3rd National Eucharistic Congress of India, presided over by the Bishop of Dhaka, Bishop Peter Joseph Hurth. ==List of Vicar Apostolic, Bishop and Archbishops of Bangalore==
