HISTORY

The Diocese of Oudtshoorn was established as the Central Prefecture by decree of the Holy See on 24 May 1872. It had been part of the Western Vicariate. On the 13 July 1874 it was entrusted to the “Missionaries for African Missions of Lyons”. When the Fathers of Lyons left the Central Prefecture in 1882, the Western part of the Prefecture was given to the Oblates of St Francis of Sales and a new Prefecture erected in 1884. The Eastern part again came under the jurisdiction of the Vicar Apostolic of the Western Vicariate as the Central Prefecture until 1922, When it was separated from the Western Vicariate and entrusted to the Pious Society of Missions, now called the Society of the Catholic Apostolate (Pallottine Fathers).

On 13 July 1939, the Central Prefecture was changed to Prefecture of Oudtshoorn which was raised to the status of Vicariate on 9 December 1948. The Diocese of Oudtshoorn was constituted on the establishment of the Hierarchy, 11 January 1951. It has for its boundaries on the West, the eastern boundaries of Bredasdorp, Caledon, Paarl, Malmesbury, Clanwilliam, Van Rhynsdorp and Namaqualand districts; on the North, the southern boundaries of Kenhardt and Prieska districts; on the East, the western boundaries of Britstown, Richmond, Murraysburg, Aberdeen, Jansenville and Humansdorp districts. And on the South the Indian Ocean and the northern boundaries of Caledon and Bredasdorp districts. By Decree of the Holy See the districts Calvinia and Wlliston were separated from Oudtshoorn Diocese in 1979 and are now under pastoral care of Keimoes Diocese.
