History

The Diocese is one of the oldest ecclesiastical territories in the Philippines. It was established as the Apostolic Prefecture of Mountain Provinces on July 15, 1932. The territory that the Diocese of Baguio now spans was split from the bishopric of Nueva Segovia.
On June 10, 1945, the apostolic prefecture was elevated to the Apostolic Vicariate of Mountain Provinces, entitling it to a titular bishop. The prefecture received a papal visit from John Paul II in February 1981.
In 1992, the prefecture was renamed the Apostolic Vicariate of Baguio, after ceding territories to form the Apostolic Vicariate of Bontoc-Lagawe and the Apostolic Vicariate of Tabuk.
On June 24, 2004, the prefecture became the Diocese of Baguio, losing its missionary pre-diocesan status and becoming a suffragan of its mother Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia.

Ordinaries and auxiliary episcopate

These ordinaries are all Latin Rite clergy, who are mostly members of missionary congregations.
