Roman Catholic Diocese of Satu Mare

Roman Catholic Diocese of Satu Mare

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Satu Mare, Romania was established on 23 March 1804 by Emperor Francis I, an act recognised by Pope Pius VII that 9 August. At the time, it was much larger, including land in present-day Hungary and Slovakia. It was constituted in its present form on 18 October 1982, when the Communist regime split it from the Oradea Mare Diocese.

The diocese covers the counties of Satu Mare and Maramureş, of which 8.2% are Roman Catholic, with concentrations in Satu Mare County along the Hungarian border. Its adherents are predominantly Hungarian, with a small number of Zipser Germans. It is subordinate to the Bucharest Archdiocese. Its bishop since 2003 has been Jenő Schönberger.
