| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Madura Mission |
 | | The entire suppression of the Order in 1773, however, brought the Jesuit regime to an end. | | | The term "Madura Mission" refers to that Jesuit missionary movement which had its starting point at Madura and extended thence over the eastern half of the peninsula. | | | In the year 1836 the Karnatic mission was erected into the Vicariate Apostolic of the Coromandel Coast; and as the Foreign Mission Society could not for want of men come to the rescue of Madura, they willingly accepted the appointment of the Jesuits in the same year -- the Society having been restored in 1814. |
