==History==
Missionaries from the Order of the Sacred Heart arrived in 1898.
On April 23, 1993, Pope John Paul II split the former Diocese of Carolines-Marshalls into the Apostolic Prefecture of the Marshall Islands and the Diocese of Caroline Islands. While small in total number of Catholics, the area covered is nearly the size of the United States. In 2007, Father James Gould, apostolic prefect, resigned. Father Raymundo Sabio, a Filipino missionary, was chosen to succeed him.
