Archdiocese of Lingayen–Dagupan

The Archdiocese of Lingayen–Dagupan is a Latin Catholic archdiocese of the Catholic Church in the Province of Pangasinan, Philippines. Its cathedral is the Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Dagupan with a co-cathedral, the Epiphany of Our Lord Parish Church, in the neighboring municipality of Lingayen.

History
The Diocese of Lingayen was created on May 19, 1928, comprising the entire province of Pangasinan. In 1954, because of the destruction brought on Lingayen by World War II, the see was transferred to Dagupan, thus renaming the diocese as the Diocese of Lingayen–Dagupan. The diocese was elevated to an archdiocese in 1963. In 1985, two new dioceses were carved out from the archdiocese: Alaminos and Urdaneta. == Coat of arms ==
Coat of arms
The nimbed silver eagle is the symbol of Saint John the Apostle and Evangelist, the titular of the cathedral at Dagupan. The silver star (previously depicted as three gold Oriental crowns) refers to the Epiphany of the Lord, the titular of the co-cathedral at Lingayen. The red wavy pile represents Lingayen Gulf. The green field represents the "rice-bowl" of the Philippines, the whole of Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija. The three heraldic roses represent our Lady, the Mystical Rose, who is venerated in the archdiocese under three titles: Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manaoag; Our Lady of Purification; and Mary Help of Christians. == Timeline of bishops ==
