Military Ordinariate of Peru

The Military Bishopric of Peru (Spanish: Obispado Castrense del Perú) is a Latin Church military ordinariate of the Catholic Church.

Immediately exempt to the Holy See, it provides pastoral care to Catholics serving in the Peruvian Armed Forces and their families.

Pope Francis appointed the Bishop Prelate of the Territorial Prelature of Caravelí, Bishop Juan Carlos Vera Plasencia, MSC, as bishop-designate for the Military Ordinariate of Peru on Wednesday, July 16, 2014.

The bishop was installed as military ordinary at a later date.

It was elevated to a military ordinariate on 21 July 1986.
