The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Thare and Nonseng is located
in the north-east of Thailand. It is based in Tha Rae, a
subdistrict municipality in the Mueang Sakon Nakhon district.
The diocese covers an area of 25,477 km˛, covering four
provinces of Thailand - Kalasin, Mukdahan, Nakhon Phanom and
Sakon Nakhon. As of 2001, of the 3.1 million citizen 49,489 are
member of the Catholic Church. It is divided into 30 parishes,
having 51 priests altogether. By December 31, 2006, the
archdiocese had 51,275 Catholics, 1.61 percent of the
territory's population.
The archdiocese traces its origin
back to the Vicariate Apostolic of Laos, which was established
on May 4, 1899, responsible for all of what is now northeast
Thailand and modern-day Laos. The seat of the vicariate was at
Ban Nonseng, Nakhon Phanom Province. In 1938 the northern part
was split off to create the Prefecture Apostolic of Vientiane
and Luang-Prabang. After the independence of Laos in 1949 the
vicariate was divided: on December 21, 1950, the Laotian part
was split off to create the Prefecture Apostolic of Thakhek,
while the Thai part became the Vicariate Apostolic of Thare. In
1960 it was renamed the Vicariate Apostolic of Thare and
Nonseng, and was promoted as the Archdiocese of Thare and
Nonseng on December 18, 1965. |
