On March 1, 1911, the Apostolic Prefecture Karolinen was raised by Pius X to the Apostolic Vicariate . In addition, the territory of the dissolved Apostolic Prefecture Mariana Islands was attached to the Apostolic Vicariate . On May 4, 1923 the territory of the dissolved Apostolic Prefecture of the Marshall Islands was annexed to the Vicariate Apostolic Mariana Islands and Carolines. The Apostolic Vicariate of Mariana Islands, Carolines and Marshall Islands gave the territory of the Mariana Islands to the Apostolic Vicariate of Guam on July 4, 1946 and was renamed the Apostolic Vicariate of Carolines and Marshall Islands .
On May 3, 1979, the Apostolic Vicariate Carolines and Marshall Islands was raised to a diocese by Pope John Paul II with the Apostolic Constitution Tametsi Ecclesiae and renamed the Diocese of Carolines-Marshall Islands . It was subordinated to the Archdiocese of Agaña as a suffragan .
