Apostolic Prefecture of Endeber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Apostolic Prefecture of Endeber was a short-lived (1940-1951) Latin Church missionary jurisdiction named after the town of Endeber in western Ethiopia.
Not being of diocesan rank, it was not part of an ecclesiastical province and was directly dependent on the Holy See.
It was established on 1940.02.13, during the Italian occupation, as an apostolic prefecture on territory split off from the then Apostolic Vicariate of Gimma (now Nekemte).
On 1951.10.31 it was suppressed, its territory becoming part of the new Apostolic Exarchate of Addis Ababa.[1]
