The Vicariate Apostolic of Mitú (Latin: Apostolicus Vicariatus Mituensis) is a Latin pre-diocesan jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in Colombia.
It is exempt, i.e. immediately subject to the Holy See (not part of any ecclesiastical province) and depends on the missionary Roman Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
Its cathedral episcopal see is the Catedral María Inmaculada, dedicated to Mary Immaculate, in the city of Mitú, in Vaupés Department.
As per 2014, it pastorally served 15,200 Catholics (38.0% of 40,000 total) on 54,135 km² in 9 parishes and 12 missions with 27 priests (16 diocesan, 11 religious), 1 deacon, 15 lay religious (11 brothers, 4 sisters) and 6 seminarians.
On 9 June 1949 Pope Pius XII established the Apostolic Prefecture of Mitú on territory split off from the Apostolic Vicariate of Los Llanos de San Martín.
It lost split-off territory on 19 January 1989 when the Apostolic Vicariate of San José del Guaviare (now a diocese) was created.
On 19 June 1989 Pope John Paul II elevated it to a Vicariate Apostolic (entitled to a titular bishop) and named it the Apostolic Vicariate of Mitú-Puerto Inírida. It was split in two on 30 November 1996, creating the hence renamed Apostolic Vicariate of Mitú and the split-off Apostolic Vicariate of Inírida.[1] [2]
