Jurisdiction of the metropolitan see of the Roman Catholic apostolic vicariate of Calapan.
The Apostolic Vicariate of Calapan (Latin: Vicariatus Apostolicus Calapanensis) is a Latin Church missionary jurisdiction or apostolic vicariate of the Catholic Church in Oriental Mindoro, Philippines. In 2010, 756,000 residents had been baptized out of about 814,000 inhabitants.[1][2]
It has six related parishes. The episcopal residence and seat of the vicariate is the Santo Niño Cathedral located in Calapan.[3]
On November 13, 2018, Pope Francis has appointed Nestor Adalia, currently the Vicar General of Calapan, to take the post as apostolic administrator "ad nutum Sanctae Sedis", meaning "at the disposition of the Holy See" or to take temporary charge of the administration of the apostolic vicariate, due to the health condition of Warlito Itcuas Cajandig. On June 29, 2023, Pope Francis appointed Moises Magpantay Cuevas (previously as Auxiliary Bishop of Zamboanga) as the 6th Apostolic Vicar of Calapan.
