The Roman Catholic Church in Kyrgyzstan is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome. There are approximately 500 Catholics in the country in three parishes; Bishkek, Talas, and Jalal-Abad. Jesuit Bishop Nikolaus Messmer is the current head of the apostolic administration that covers the whole country. The country is served by five Jesuit and two diocesan priests, as well as five Franciscan sisters. Most of the Catholics in the country are the descendents of Germans, Poles and other European ethnic groups who were deported to Central Asia by Joseph Stalin in the 1930s and 1940s.
