Roman Catholic Diocese of Timişoara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Timişoara, Romania was established on 5 June 1930 by Pope Pius XI. The Diocese of Cenad, corresponding to approximately the same region, had been created in 1030.
The diocese covers the Romanian Banat—the counties of Timiş, Caraş-Severin, Arad and part of Mehedinţi, of which 11.1% are Roman Catholic, with compact concentrations in the Krashovani areas near Reşiţa and Sânnicolau Mare. A plurality of its adherents are Hungarian, followed by Banat Swabians, Romanians, Banat Bulgarians, Croats, Slovaks and Czechs. It is subordinate to the Bucharest Archdiocese. Its bishop since 1999 has been Martin Roos.
