history
In 1807, King of Holland Louis Bonaparte and Pope Pius VII divided the Dutch colonies into three ecclesiastical territories, including two in the Caribbean and the third in the East Indies , based in Batavia . The following year the first Apostolic Prefect was appointed, but the Apostolic Prefecture of Batavia was not actually established until 1826 from cessions of territory from the Apostolic Prefecture of Bourbon .
