The Roman Catholic Diocese of Myitkyina (Lat: Dioecesis Myitkyinaensis) is a diocese of the Latin Church of the Roman Catholic Church in Burma. Erected in 1939 as the Apostolic Prefecture of Bhamo, the prefecture was created from territory in the Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Burma. In 1961, the Prefecture was elevated to a full diocese, suffragan to the Archdiocese of Mandalay. The current bishop is Francis Daw Tang, appointed in 2004. Currently the Diocese manages numerous churches, schools and clinics throughout Kachin State.

Pre-History

Before the Diocese was fully established, the first footprints of Catholicism in Myitkyina were set in 1856, when French Bishop Paul Bigandet M.E.P. visited the northern region of Burma. Seventeen years later, in 1873, a trio of priests was dispatched to begin the early works of the Diocese. According to internal historical records, three decades of extreme sicknesses caused by malaria brought the work to a stand-still.[1]

Between the years 1873 to 1901, 14 priests either died or returned wrecked in health.[1] The mission was slow to spread throughout Kachin populations in the early 20th century until the arrival of the first Columban Missionaries from Ireland in 1936.[2]

History

With "Divine Providence" re-instated in the architects of Catholicism in Kachin State, evangelization was resumed with "renewed vigour and fresh hopes" and by 1965 and 1966, the diocese was handed over to the local clergy.

Throughout the 1960s and to this day, the Diocese of Myitkyina has been bringing gospel and aid to isolated and hazardous locations in Northern Myanmar.
