Roman Catholic Diocese Of Ragusa

The Diocese of Ragusa (Latin: Dioecesis Ragusiensis) is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in Sicily. It was erected in 1950. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Siracusa.

When created on 6 May 1950 from territory drawn from the Archdiocese of Siracusa, it remained tied to that archdiocese in the person of Archbishop Ettore Baranzini, who held the title Bishop of Ragusa as well. The Diocese of Ragusa was fully detached from that archdiocese on 1 October 1955.
