-----

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tagbilaran was created on November 8, 1941 and made a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Cebu by the apostolic constitution In sublimi Petri cathedra. However, due to the complications caused by World War II, its first bishop, Julio Rosales ([officially] Consecrated as Bishop: September 21, 1946; Created Cardinal: April 28, 1969), a priest of the Diocese of Palo took tenure of the diocese after his episcopal consecration 5 years after the Diocese of Tagbilaran’s erection.

On January 9, 1986, the Diocese of Tagbilaran was divided half of its territory and Pope Saint John Paul II created the Diocese of Talibon with seat in Talibon, a major town on the northern coast of the island, with Most Rev. Christian V.F. Noel, D.D. from Asturias, Cebu, as the first Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Talibon from 1986 to 2014.
