history

Pope Pius XII founded it with the bull Ecclesiasticas in catholico on March 3, 1949 from cession of territory of the diocese of Ningbo . Due to the subsequent events, the coming to power of the communists , the Holy See was unable to appoint a bishop to the diocese, so it was administered by an Apostolic Administrator until 1992. In 1992, James Lin Xili was appointed bishop, who was arrested several times by the police and spent the last few years in prison , house arrest and hospital . He died on October 4th, 2009. His death was an opportunity for rapprochement between the patriotic and official Catholics of the diocese and the illegal Catholics. Vincent Zhu Wei-fang , who was secretly consecrated in 2009 , took over the management of the diocese in December 2010. The secret in 2007 to Coadjutor Bishop consecrated Shao Zhu-min could succeed only with the death Zhu in September 2016th Since then, until November 2018, Shao Zhu-min has been abducted by police at least five times.
