The Diocese of Vincennes (in Latin, Vincennapolis), the first Roman Catholic diocese in Indiana, was erected 6 May 1834 by Pope Gregory XVI. Its initial ecclesiastical jurisdiction encompassed Indiana as well as the eastern third of Illinois. In 1843 the Diocese of Chicago was erected from the Illinois portion of the diocese, and in 1857 Diocese of Fort Wayne was erected from the northern half of Indiana. The seat of the episcopal see was transferred from Vincennes, Indiana, to Indianapolis, and on 28 March 1898 it became the Diocese of Indianapolis. Pope Pius XII elevated the Indianapolis diocese to an archdiocese in 1944, and erected two new Indiana dioceses: the Diocese of Evansville and the Diocese of Lafayette. The Diocese of Gary, Indiana, was erected in 1956. The Evansville Diocese absorbed the city of Vincennes upon its creation. == Diocesan Bishops of Vincennes == #Simon Bruté de Rémur (Consecrated 28 October 1834 – Died 26 June 1839) #Célestine de la Hailandière (Consecrated 18 August 1839 – Resignation accepted 29 March 1847) #Jean Bazin (Consecrated 24 October 1847 – Died 23 April 1848)〔Kennedy, p. 25.〕 #Jacques Maurice de St. Palais (Consecrated 14 January 1849 – Died 28 June 1877) St. Palais also served as administrator of the diocese from Bishop Badin’s death on 23 April 1848 to 14 January 1849.〔Alerding and Chatard, p. 195 and 208.〕 #Francis Silas Chatard (Consecrated 12 May 1878 – Died 7 September 1918) Bishop Chatard became the first Bishop of Indianapolis on 28 March 1898, after the episcopal see was moved to Indianapolis.〔Alerding and Chatard, pp. 215–16.〕〔Rev.
