Tigava was an ancient Roman-Berber town and bishopric in Roman Africa, which remains a Latin Catholic titular see.
It corresponds with the modern locality of El-Kherba in Algeria.
History
Tigava was one of many cities in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis which were important enough to become a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archbishopric in its capital Caesarea Mauretaniae (modern Cherchell), but like most faded.
Saint Typasius was a veteran of the Roman garrison.
Titular see
Tigava's diocese is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular bishoprics[1] since it was nominally restored in 1933.
It has had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal (lowest) rank :[2]
- Basile Tanghe, Capuchin Franciscans (O.F.M. Cap.) (1935.01.28 – death 1947.12.16) as first Apostolic Vicar of Belgian Ubangui (Congo-Kinshasa, then Belgian; now Molegbe diocese) (1935.01.28 – 1947.12.16), previously last Apostolic Prefect of Belgian Ubangui (1931.10.16 – 1935.01.28)
- Alfonse Bossart, Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (O.M.I.) (1948.02.12 – death 1963.03.03) as first Apostolic Vicar of Ipamu (Congo-Kinshasa; now Idiofa diocese) (1948.02.12 – 1957) and on emeritate; previously last Apostolic Prefect of Ipamu (1937.06.11 – 1948.02.12)
- John Louis Morkovsky (1963.04.16 – 1975.04.22) as Coadjutor Bishop of Galveston–Houston (Texas, USA) (1963.04.16 – 1975.04.22), succeeded as Bishop of Galveston–Houston (1975.04.22 – retired 1984.08.21); previously Titular Bishop of Hieron (1955.12.22 – 1958.08.18) as Auxiliary Bishop of Amarillo (Texas, USA) (1955.12.22 – 1958.08.18), succeeding as Bishop of Amarillo (1958.08.18 – 1963.04.16); died 1990
- Bernhard Rieger (1984.12.20 – death 2013.04.10) as Auxiliary Bishop of Rottenburg–Stuttgart (Germany) (1984.12.20 – 1996.07.31) and on emeritate
