The Roman Catholic Diocese of Ciudad Juárez (Latin: Dioecesis Civitatis Iuarezensis) is located in the northern Mexican city of the same name, across the Río Grande from El Paso, Texas. It is part of the ecclesiastical province of Chihuahua and is a suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Chihuahua http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dchih.html.
The Diocese of Ciudad Juárez was erected by Pope Pius XIIhttp://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bpacelli.html on 10 April 1957 from the Diocese of Chihuahua because of the population growth in the northern part of the state of Chihuahua. Pope Pius named Manuel Talamás Camandari http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/btalamas.html as the first bishop, and by 1966 he was overseeing a diocese of 565,000 faithful. When Bishop Talamás retired in 1992, the diocese consisted of more than one million Catholics.
Juan Sandoval Íñiguezhttp://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bsandoval.html was selected by Pope John Paul II to succeed Talamás as second bishop on 11 July 1992, but remained for less than two years before being transferred to Guadalajara to replace the assassinated archbishop, Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo on 21 April 1994. His successor was Renato Ascencio León http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bascencio.html, who had been subsequently the bishop of the neighboring Diocese of Cuauhtémoc-Madera, Chihuahua. Bishop Ascencio was installed on 7 October 1994, and administers a diocese with a Catholic population(2006) of 2,179,000.
According to the Church census of 2016, the diocese is also made up of 116 priests, 73 parishes, 170 female and male religious, and covers 29,639 square kilometers(11,448 square miles). There are 9,414 faithful for each priest.
