Religion
The Catholic minority is pastorally served by its own (dormant?) pre-diocesan Apostolic Prefecture of Suixian ( 隨縣 ) which is exempt, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See (and its missionary Dicastery for Evangelization ), not part of any ecclesiastical province .
It was established on 1937.06.17 as Apostolic Prefecture of Suixian ( 隨縣 ) / Suihsien / Suihsienen(sis) (Latin adjective), on territory split off from the Apostolic Vicariate of Hankou ( 漢口 ).
It is vacant since 1951, without apostolic administrator since 1981, having had only the following incumbents :
- Father Patrick Maurice Connaughton ( 龔成德 ), Friars Minor (O.F.M.) (born Ireland) (1937.06.17 – retired 1951.03), died 1967
- Apostolic Administrator Friar Dominic Chen Te-mien, O.F.M. (1951.04.05 – 1981), no ther Ordinariate.
