The Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Princesa is an Apostolic Vicariate (missionary circoncription, akin to a diocese) in the Philippines. Within the Catholic Church hierarchy, it operates like a diocese and is headed by a titular bishop. Its cathedral see is the Immaculate Conception Cathedral Parish in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. It is exempt, i.e. directly subject to the Holy See, not part of an ecclesiastical province. The Catholic Church in the Philippines is organized into 72 dioceses in 16 Ecclesiastical Provinces, as well as 7 Apostolic Vicariates and a Military Ordinariate. The current bishop is Pedro D. Arigo. == History == It was established on 10 April 1910 as Apostolic Prefecture of Palawan on territory split from the then Roman Catholic Diocese of Jaro (now a Metropolitan Archdiocese). On 3 July 1955, it was promoted as Apostolic Vicariate of Palawan. On 27 March 2002, it was renamed as Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Princesa and lost territory to establish the Apostolic Vicariate of Taytay. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apostolic Vicariate of Puerto Princesa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
