Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese


Day 16: Diocese of Djibouti


This diocese was created in 1955 from an apostolic prefecture created in 1914. Not quite sure of the circumstances, given that there are only about 7,000 Catholics in Djibouti. I suppose France had something to do with it, as most of the Catholics in Djibouti are expats or other non-Djiboutians.

There's not much out there on the diocese, not surprisingly. I pretty much chose it for this exercise because I like the name Djibouti.  It's fun to say.
