The Eritrean Catholic Church is a Metropolitan sui iuris Eastern particular church headquartered in Asmara, Eritrea. It was established in 2015 by separation of its territory from that of the Ethiopian Catholic Church and the setting up in that territory of a new sui iuris (autonomous) metropolitan Eastern Catholic Church. Its strictly-speaking official name is "The Asmara metropolitan sui iuris Church". In 1839 Giustino de Jacobis, an Italian Vincentian priest, arrived as a missionary in the area that is now Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. In 1869, Italy began to occupy Eritrea and in 1890 declared it a colony of the Kingdom of Italy, fostering immigration of Italians. The church has a complex history of changing which jurisdiction of the Catholic church held authority over it, as the country was occupied by Italy or France. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrean_Catholic_Church '''Eritrean Catholic Church'''] for those details. The main impact genealogically is that some records might be in Italian or French. <ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Eritrean Catholic Church", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrean_Catholic_Church, accessed 23 March 2020. </ref> | The Eritrean Catholic Church is a Metropolitan sui iuris Eastern particular church headquartered in Asmara, Eritrea.
