Mission sui iuris of Cunene


The Mission sui iuris of Cunene was a short-lived missionary jurisdiction in present Angola, then still a Portuguese colony.

History

The mission sui iuris of Cunene was established in 1881, on territory split off from the then Apostolic Prefecture of Cimbebasia.
It was exempt, i.e. not part of any ecclesiastical province. No ecclesiastical superiors seem to be recorded.
It was suppressed on 4 September 1940, and its territory merged into the newly erected Roman Catholic Diocese of Nova Lisboa, the nucleus of the present Metropolitan Archdiocese of Huambo.
