According to Vicar General Msgr Denis Prabhu, the Diocese of Mangalore has a history of more than 5 centuries. The faith of the people has grown ever since 1515. It has served in the initial years the faithful of the Dioceses of Calicut, Kannur, Gulbaga and six Syro Malabar- Malankara Dioceses before they were established.
According to him if the Diocese of Udupi would have been established together with Karwar it would have far excelled by now than all other Dioceses of Karnataka. More over the faith was handed over to us from Goa through Gangolli, Kundapur etc parishes which belong to Udupi.

According to Fr Herald D’Souza a diocesan priest together with the announcement of the Diocese of Udupi, the Mangalore Diocese should have been erected as an arch-Diocese comprising of all the Konkani Dioceses of Karnataka. Because the Konkani culture, lifestyle and pattern of functioning is quite unique and different from others.
According to Jerald D’Costa the secretary of the Mangalore Diocesan Parishad this is big news for the Christians of Mangalore as well as Udupi. The new Diocese means scope for new development, new openings and new leadership.

This was overdue. Mangalore diocese was very vast and very difficult to administrate point of view. The faithful had lot of inconvenience to visit there. This is very good move. I congratulate all the faithful of udipi diocese now.

We, catholics of newly erected UDUPI DIOCESE, should thank the Almighty God His Holiness Pope Benedict for providing us this diocese. CONGRATULATIONS!! to His Lordship Most Rev. Jerald Lobo, for being the First Bishop of our Udupi Diocese.
As far as faith unity of the catholics is concerned, we are well placed which can be still uplifted.Educational institutions are also doing well, which should be upgraded. Though we have a very few Medical/Hospital facilities, these need much more attention and improvisation.
Surely, under the guidence and pastoral leadership of our Bishop,and co-operation of the people, all these and much more can be achieved in future and due course of time.
At the same time, this will give a new face to our Udupi District as well.
ALL THE BEST Agree[0]
