Apostolic Administration
in Kyrgyzstan
In 2006 Pope Benedict XVI established the Apostolic Administration in the Kyrgyz Republic with Fr. Nikolaus Messmer, SJ, as its first Bishop. Eleven years later, in 2017, Fr. Anthony Corcoran, SJ, succeeded him as the Apostolic Administrator. In 2026, Pope Leo XIV named Bishop Corcoran to the episcopacy, and he now serves as Bishop of the Apostolic Administration of Kyrgyzstan.
