History edit

On 1 December 1917 Pope Benedict XV established as Apostolic Vicariate of El Beni on territory split off from the then Diocese of Santa Cruz de la Sierra (now an archdiocese).

It lost territory twice in 1942, when Pope Pius XII created the Apostolic Vicariate of Pando and Apostolic Vicariate of Reyes.[1][2]

Exceptionally for a pre-diocesan jurisdiction, it was repeatedly (since 1781) given an auxiliary bishop, so as to be headed by two titular bishops.
