On March 25, 1968, the Territorial Prelature of Alto Paraná was established from the Territorial Prelature of Encarnación y Alto Paraná
On July 10, 1993, the territorial prelature was established as the Diocese of Alto Paraná
On February 3, 2001, the diocese as renamed as the Diocese of Ciudad del Este
The diocese became noted in 2014 due to the ouster of its bishop, Rogelio Ricardo Livieres Plano, by Pope Francis for his alleged promotion of a priest of the diocese who had been accused of the sexual abuse of a minor while serving in the United States.[1] Livieres was then barred from presiding at public celebrations of the Mass. Since then, accusations of major financial mismanagement of the finances of the diocese by Livieres have also surfaced, with the diocese reportedly close to a million United States dollars in debt.[2]
