Anthony Fernandes (born 6 July 1936 in Mangalore, Karnataka, India[citation needed]) is the first Bishop of the Diocese of Bareilly, within the Catholic Church in India. Fernandes became bishop on 19 January 1989, the same day the diocese was established.[1]
To create the diocese, Pope John Paul II promulgated the bull "Indorum Inter Gentes";[citation needed] it was created by transferring six districts in Uttar Pradesh out of the Diocese of Lucknow: Bareilly, Nainital, Almora, Pithoragarh, Shahjahanpur and . The church of St. Alphonsus (Alphonsus Maria de Liguori) became the cathedral for the new diocese. The Diocese was made a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Agra.
The Pope appointed Fernandes, who at the time was Vicar General of the Diocese of Varanasi, as the Bishop-elect of the newly erected Diocese, by promulgating the Bull "Eodem Animi Pastoralis"[2][3]
