History
On the east-central coast of Sardinia, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea, sits the Diocese of Nuoro (Latin: Dioecesis Nuorensis), a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church and a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari. Its history runs through several names: the diocese of Galtellì until 1779, then Galtellì-Nuoro until 1928, when it took its present name of Nuoro.
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.
