history
Pope Pius X. founded the territorial prelature Registro do Araguaia on May 12, 1914 from cessions of territory from the Archdiocese of Cuiabá , to which it was also subordinated as a suffragan diocese.
On May 27, 1969, the Cathedra was moved from Registro do Araguaia to Guiratinga and took the name, Territorial Prelature Guiratinga. With the Bull Institutionis propositum she was raised to the diocese on October 3, 1981.
It lost parts of its territory in favor of the establishment of the following dioceses:
- June 15, 1957 to the diocese of Campo Grande ;
- May 13, 1969 to the Territorial Prelature of São Félix ;
