Syriac Catholic Patriarchal Dependency of Sudan and South Sudan

The Syriac (or Syrian) Catholic Patriarchal Dependency of Sudan and South Sudan is missionary pre-diocesan jurisdiction of the Eastern Catholic Syriac Catholic Church (sui iuris, Antiochian Rite in Syriac language) covering Sudan and South Sudan.

It is immediately subject to the Syrian Catholic Patriarch of Antioch (in Beirut, Lebanon), not part of any ecclesiastical province.

As a mission of very low rank, roughly comparable to a Latin Mission sui iuris, it has no cathedral see nor an episcopal ordinary of its own.

So far, the office of superior, styled Protosyncellus (normally a function in an episcopal curia) has been vested in the Syrian Catholic Eparch of Cairo, in Egypt.
