History

The Apostolic Prefecture of Mindoro was created on July 2, 1936, with territory taken from the diocese of Lipa and Jaro (both today archdioceses).

On July 12, 1951, by virtue of the bull Merit ab Apostolic of Pope Pius XII, the apostolic prefecture was elevated to an apostolic vicariate and assumed its present name.[1]

On December 19, 1974, and January 27, 1983, he sold portions of its territory for the creation of the Diocese of Romblon and the Apostolic Vicariate of San Jose in Mindoro.
