Suffragan territorial prelature Juli, Peru

Territorial Prelature of Juli

Iulien(sis)

Latin rite territorial prelature on the shore of Lake Titicaca in Peru's Puno region, erected 3 August 1957 from the Diocese of Puno. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Arequipa, seated at the Cathedral of St. Peter (San Pedro) in Juli; in 2019 it ceded territory for the new Prelature of Santiago Apostol de Huancane. The see has been vacant since 24 September 2025, when Prelate Ciro Quispe Lopez left office.
