Apostolic Vicariate of Ucayali

The jurisdiction was established on February 5, 1900 as the Apostolic Prefecture of Ucayali, on territory split off from the Diocese of Ayacucho o Huamanga and Diocese of Huánuco. On July 14, 1925, it was promoted to as an apostolic vicariate and thus entitled to a titular bishop as its ordinary; the incumbent was elevated. The Apostolic Vicariate of Ucayali was suppressed on March 2, 1956 and its territory divided between three other new created apostolic vicariates: the Apostolic Vicariate of San Ramon, the Apostolic Vicariate of Requena and the Apostolic Vicariate of Pucallpa. == Incumbent ordinaries ==
