history
Pope Innocent XII. tried on January 16, 1692 to found the Apostolic Vicariate Borneo . The mission was unsuccessful because the Sultan of Banjarmasin forbade all foreigners from entering the country. Pius X founded the Apostolic Prefecture of Dutch Borneo on February 11, 1905 from cessions of territory from the Apostolic Prefecture of Batavia .
With the Apostolic Constitution Quae catholico nomini it was elevated to the Apostolic Vicariate on March 13, 1918 and on May 21, 1938, it was named, Apostolic Vicariate Pontianak . On January 3, 1961, it was raised to the rank of metropolitan archbishopric.

- May 21, 1938 to the Apostolic Prefecture of Banjarmasin ;
- March 11, 1948 to the Apostolic Prefecture of Sintang ;
