Chronology of Catholic Dioceses:Trinidad and Tobago
See a list of abbreviations used in this list. See also our listing of current ecclesial jurisdictions.
There is an uncertainty as to the status of the islands of Trinidad and Tobago after 1650. We presume they devolved to Puerto Rico - and later to Santo Tomás de Guayana - as there are sources indicating that they were withdrawn from Santo Tomás de Guayana in 1818. But help to ascertain what happened would be appreciated. Claes.Tande@katolsk.no |
