The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tianjin/Tíentsín is a suffragan diocese in the Ecclesiastical province of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Beijing in PR China.
Its cathedral episcopal see is Cathedral of St. Joseph, in the city of Tianjin, which also has the former cathedral: Our Lady of Victory Church .
Data from 1950 indicated there are 50,000 registered Roman Catholics in Tianjin, occupying 1.4% of the total 3,600,000 population. Recent data from 2008 reflected a recovery of presumably 100,000 Catholics after years of persecution of which 40,000 are officially registered and 60,000 is the estimated number of underground faithful. Even that considered, it is still only a very tiny proportion of the current 15,000,000 population.
