History

Between Venice and Udine, at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea in northeastern Italy, lies the Diocese of Concordia-Pordenone (Latin: Dioecesis Concordiensis-Portus Naonis). Concordia Veneta has been a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Venice since 1818. When the Provincial Council of the Provincia Veneta met in October 1859, Bishop Andrea Casasola attended as a suffragan of Cardinal Giuseppe Luigi Trevisanato, Patriarch of Venice. The diocese received its present name in 1971.

What is kept by invitation

The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.

The working record is not. The chancery's address, telephone and email, the clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
