History
The city of Thiès in Senegal is the seat of a Roman Catholic diocese (Latin: Thiesin(us); French: Diocèse catholique romain de Thiès) within the ecclesiastical province of Dakar. On Friday, January 18, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI named the Rev. André Gueye Bishop-designate of the diocese, with ordination and installation to follow (which would be May 25). Until that appointment he had served among the Thiès diocesan clergy and as a professor of philosophy at the Major Seminary of Saint Jean Marie Vianney in Bris, Senegal, within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ziguinchor in Ziguinchor, Senegal.
