The Roman Catholic Diocese of Chilpancingo–Chilapa is a suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Acapulco.

History

The former Diocese of Chilapa in southern Mexico comprised the State of Guerrero. It was a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Mexico, and existed under that name from 1863 to 1989.
The early bishops were Ambrosia Serrano, Ramon Ibarra, and Homobono Anaya.
Father John Ssenyondo, a priest in Chilapa, also served under the dictatorship of Idi Amin in his native Uganda. He has been called "The Indiana Jones of the Faith." He was kidnapped and found dead near the town of Ocotlán in 2014.
