History
Tradition holds that King Stephen I of Hungary established the Diocese of Győr in 1009, at the same time as most of the country's other dioceses. A Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Hungary (Hungarian: Győri Egyházmegye, German: Bistum Raab, Latin: Dioecesis Iaurinensis), it is suffragan to the Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest. The Cathedral Basilica of Győr bears a dedication to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Lajos Pápai, appointed in 1991, is the current bishop.
