Its [[see (religion)|see]] is the [[Baguio Cathedral|Our Lady of Atonement Cathedral]] in [[Baguio]], [[Benguet]], [[Cordillera Administrative Region]]. It was first established in 1952 as the [[Apostolic Prefecture]] of Mountain Province, later elevated to an [[apostolic vicariate]] in 1948. It was later renamed as the Apostolic Vicariate of Baguio in 1992, and was elevated to a [[diocese]] in 2004 as a [[suffragan diocese|suffragan]] of the [[Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia]]. It is currently headed by the [[diocesan administrator]], Roland P. Buyagan, after then-Bishop of Baguio, [[Victor Barnuevo Bendico]], was appointed [[Archdiocese of Capiz|Archbishop of Capiz]]. == History == [[File:Coat of Arms of the Apostolic Vicariate of Mountain Province.svg|thumb|The Coat of Arms of the then-Apostolic Vicariate of Mountain Province (Montañosa)]] The diocese is one of the oldest ecclesiastical territories in the Philippines. It was established as the [[Apostolic Prefecture]] of Mountain Province (Latin: ''Praefectura Apostolica Montana'') on July 15, 1932.<ref>Pope Pius XI, '''Apostolic Decree creating the Apostolic Prefecture of the Mountain Provinces''' ''[https://www.vatican.va/archive/aas/documents/AAS-25-1933-ocr.pdf#page=206 Quo facilius consuli]'' (15 July 1932), ''Acta Apostolicae Sedis'' 25 (1933), pp. 206-207. DISMEMBRATIONIS DIOECESIS ET ERECTIONIS PRAELATURAE APOSTOLICAE "MONTANAE". </ref> The territory that the Diocese of Baguio now spans was split from the bishopric of Nueva Segovia. On June 10, 1948, the apostolic prefecture was elevated to the [[Apostolic Vicariate]] of Mountain Province (Montañosa), entitling it to a [[titular bishop]].<ref>Pope Pius XII, '''Apostolic Constitution elevating the Apostolic Prefecture of the Mountain Provinces into an Apostolic Vicariate''' ''[https://www.vatican.va/archive/aas/documents/AAS-40-1948-ocr.pdf#page=535 Quo inter infideles]'' (10 June 1948), ''Acta Apostolicae Sedis'' 40 (1948), pp. 535-536. PRAEFECTURA APOSTOLICA MONTANA IN VICARIATUM APOSTOLICUM, IISDEM SERVATIS NOMINE AC LIMITIBUS, EVEHITUR. </ref> The prefecture received a papal visit from [[Pope John Paul II|John Paul II]] in February 1981. In 1992, the prefecture was renamed the [[Apostolic Vicariate]] of Baguio, after ceding territories to form the [[Apostolic Vicariate of Bontoc-Lagawe]] and the [[Apostolic Vicariate of Tabuk]]. On June 24, 2004, the prefecture became the Diocese of Baguio, losing its missionary pre-diocesan status and becoming a [[suffragan]] of its mother Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia. == Ordinaries and auxiliary episcopate == These [[Ordinary (Catholic Church)|ordinaries]] are all Latin Rite clergy, who are mostly members of missionary congregations. === Apostolic Prefect of Mountain Province === {| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%;" |- ! style="width:40px;"|No. ! style="width:400px;"|Name ! style="width:100px;"|From ! style="width:100px;"|Until |- align=center ||1 ||[[Giuseppe Billiet]]|| 15 Nov 1935 || 1947 |} ===Apostolic Vicar of Mountain Province (Montañosa)=== {| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%;" |- ! style="width:40px;"|No. ! style="width:80px;"|Picture ! style="width:400px;"|Name ! style="width:100px;"|From ! style="width:100px;"|Until ! style="width:150px;"|Coat of arms |- align=center ||1 ||[[File:Coat of Arms of the Apostolic Vicariate of Mountain Province.svg|100px]]||[[William Brasseur]]|| 10 Jun 1948 || 7 Nov 1981 || [[File:Coat of arms of William Brasseur.svg|160x160px]] |- align="center" ||2 ||[[File:Coat of Arms of the Apostolic Vicariate of Mountain Province.svg|100px]]||[[Emiliano Kulhi Madangeng]]|| (7 Nov 1981 || 18 Dec 1987 ||[[File:Coat of arms of Emiliano Kulhi Madangeng.svg|160x160px]] |} ===Apostolic Vicars=== {| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%;" |- ! style="width:40px;"|No. ! style="width:80px;"|Picture ! style="width:400px;"|Name ! style="width:100px;"|From ! style="width:100px;"|Until ! style="width:150px;"|Coat of arms |- align=center ||1 ||[[File:Diocese of Baguio seal vectorized.svg|100px]]||[[Ernesto Antolin Salgado]]|| 18 Dec 1987 || 7 Dec 2000 || |- align=center ||2 ||[[File:Diocese of Baguio seal vectorized.svg|100px]]||[[Carlito Joaquin Cenzon]]|| 25 Jan 2002 || 10 Jul 2004 || [[File:Coat of arms of Carlito Joaquin Cenzon.svg|160x160px]] |} ===Bishops=== {| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%;" |- ! style="width:40px;"|No. ! style="width:80px;"|Picture ! style="width:400px;"|Name ! style="width:100px;"|From ! style="width:100px;"|Until ! style="width:150px;"|Coat of arms |- align=center ||1 ||[[File:Diocese of Baguio seal vectorized.svg|100px]]||[[Carlito Joaquin Cenzon]]|| 10 Jul 2004 || 1 Oct 2016 || [[File:Coat of arms of Carlito Joaquin Cenzon.svg|160x160px]] |- align=center ||2 ||[[File:Diocese of Baguio seal vectorized.svg|100px]]||[[Victor Barnuevo Bendico]]|| 10 Jan 2017 || 3 May 2023 || [[ File:Coat of arms of Victor Barnuevo Bendico.svg|160x160px]] |} ;''Auxiliary Bishop'' {| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%;" |- ! style="width:40px;"|No. ! style="width:80px;"|Picture ! style="width:400px;"|Name ! style="width:100px;"|From ! style="width:100px;"|Until ! style="width:150px;"|Coat of arms |- align=center ||1 ||[[File:Diocese of Baguio seal vectorized.svg|100px]]||[[Sebastian Acol Dalis]]|| 18 Nov 1987 || 11 Jul 2000 || |} == See also == * [[Catholic Church in the Philippines]] * [[List of Catholic dioceses in the Philippines]] * [[Our Lady of Covadonga]] == References == {{reflist}} ==Sources and external links== * [http://www.gcatholic.org/dioceses/diocese/bagu0.htm#10729 GCatholic with incumbent biography links] {{Roman Catholic dioceses in the Philippines}} {{Roman Catholicism in the Philippines}} {{Baguio}} {{coord|16.4128|N|120.5980|E|source:wikidata|display=title}} {{authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Baguio, Diocese}} [[Category:Roman Catholic dioceses in the Philippines]] [[Category:Roman Catholic Ecclesiastical Province of Nueva Segovia]] [[Category:Baguio]] [[Category:Religion in Benguet]] [[Category:Christian organizations established in 1932]] [[Category:Roman Catholic dioceses and prelatures established in the 20th century]] ang ganda ko sobra wala kaytong pake!!! huwag kayo magamit ng wikipedia!!!'
