The Diocese of Krk (Croatian: Krčka biskupija; Latin: Dioecesis Veglensis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church active on the Croatian islands of Krk, Rab, Cres and Lošinj, as well as a few smaller ones and also a mission serving the Croatian people of New York: Blessed Ivan Merz in Astoria NY under the Brooklyn Diocese. The diocese is centred in the town of Krk. It was first erected in 900.[1][2]
Under Bishop Antun Mahnić (1896–1920), the Altslawi academy was established in 1902, and existed until 1927.
Currently, Bishop Ivica Petanjak is head of the diocese. The diocese's patron is Saint Quirinus of Sescia (locally called Sveti Kvirin).
