The Diocese of Great Falls–Billings ((ラテン語:Dioecesis Magnocataractensis–Billingensis)) is the Catholic diocese of eastern Montana, established in 1904. Pope Pius X erected the "Diocese of Great Falls" on May 18, 1904, by dividing the Diocese of Helena, which previously comprised the entire state.〔 ==History== For its first 76 years, it was called the "Diocese of Great Falls" ((ラテン語:Dioecesis Great-Ormensis)).〔 Bishop Thomas J. Murphy changed the name of the diocese on February 14, 1980, adding "Billings" (and also changing the way that "Great Falls" was translated into Latin). The diocese has two cathedrals: St Ann's Cathedral in Great Falls, which was dedicated on December 15, 1907; and St Patrick's Co-Cathedral in Billings, which was dedicated on March 1, 1908. The co-patrons of the diocese are: *Saint Matthias, whose feast day is May 14, from the patron saint of the first bishop *Saint Pius X, whose feast day is August 21, since this saint, while pope, erected the diocese 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「Roman Catholic Diocese of Great Falls–Billings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
