History
Tokelau's Catholics are served by the Mission sui iuris of Tokelau (Latin: Missio Sui Iuris Tokelaunum), a Latin Catholic mission suffragan to the Archdiocese of Samoa-Apia. It came into being in 1992, when the former Archdiocese of Samoa-Apia and Tokelau was divided into the Archdiocese of Samoa-Apia and this mission.
