History
The Diocese of Catarman (Latin: Dioecesis Catarmaniensis), a Latin Church jurisdiction in the Philippines, was erected in 1974 as a suffragan within the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Cebu. When Palo was elevated in 1982, Catarman passed to the new archdiocese as one of its suffragans. Its boundaries have remained unchanged since the diocese was founded.
