The Anglican Church has been present in Mauritius since the take-over by the British in 1810. The civil Church was established when the first Civil Chaplain, Revd Henry Shepherd was appointed on 6 May 1812. This was followed by the consecration of the first Bishop of Mauritius in 1854 and the incorporation of the Anglican Diocese of Mauritius in 1973 by Parliament. Today there are 19 parishes in the Island of Mauritius and Rodrigues.<ref>"Anglican Diocese of Mauritius", https://www.anglican.mu/, accessed 24 March 2020.</ref> | |||
