History
Officially the Prelature of Saint Mary in Marawi, the Territorial Prelature of Marawi (Latin: Praelatura Territorialis Maraviensis) is a Catholic territorial prelature in the Philippines under the Archdiocese of Ozamis. It gathers the parishes of Marawi's minority Catholic community, including one at Mindanao State University, along with four municipalities of the Lanao Provinces where Catholics are present in significant numbers: Malabang and Balabagan in Lanao del Sur, and Sultan Naga Dimaporo and Balo-i in Lanao del Norte.
