History edit

The Diocese of Nampula was established on 4 September 1940 by Pope Pius XII's papal bull Sollemnibus Conventionibus, on territory split off from the Territorial Prelature of Mozambique, which was simultaneously promoted and became its metropolitan as the Archdiocese of Lourenço Marques (now Maputo). Nampula lost land on 5 April 1957, to establish the Diocese of Porto Amélia (now its suffragan Pemba) and on 21 July 1963, to establish the Diocese of Vila Cabral (now its suffragan Lichinga)

On 4 June 1984 it was promoted to the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Nampula by Pope John Paul II's papal bull, Quo efficacius; he made a papal visit in September 1988.

Nampula lost territory on 11 October 1991, to establish the Diocese of Nacala as its suffragan.

Statistics edit

As per 2014, it pastorally served 485,813 Catholics (13.7% of 3,547,000 total) on 51,000 km2 in 40 parishes and a mission with 75 priests (36 diocesan, 39 religious), 270 lay religious (96 brothers, 174 sisters) and 19 seminarians.
