:''For namesakes, see Diocese of London (disambiguation) The Roman Catholic Diocese of London ((ラテン語:Dioecesis Londonensis)) is a Canadian suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Toronto in Ontario. == History == The diocese was created out of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Toronto (now a Metropolitan Archdiocese), along with the Diocese of Hamilton, Ontario, by Pope Pius IX on February 21, 1856. Pierre-Adolphe Pinsonnault was named the first Bishop of London on May 18 of that year. In 1859, Bishop Pinsoneault moved the seat of the diocese to Sandwich, on the Detroit River; the diocese was transferred back to London in November 1869, under Bishop John Walsh. The present Cathedral of the Diocese, St. Peter's, was built in a French Gothic Revival style from 1880 to 1885. It was raised to the status of a minor basilica by Pope John XXIII in December, 1961. The Diocese covers the counties of Middlesex, Elgin, Norfolk, Oxford, Perth, Huron, Lambton, Kent and Essex. The Diocese also runs St. Peter's Seminary, which is now affiliated with the University of Western Ontario. == Bishops of London, Ontario == *Bishop Pierre-Adolphe Pinsonnault (May 13, 1856 - December 18, 1866) *Bishop John Walsh (November 10, 1867 - July 25, 1889) *Bishop Denis O'Connor, C.S.B.
