The Diocese of Wigry ( Latin: Dioecesis Vigierscensis) was a diocese of the Catholic Church.
The Diocese of Wigry was established on 16 March 1799, via the papal bull Saepe factum est. The Diocese originally contained 90 parishes from the Diocese of Vilnius, 44 parsishes from the Diocese of Lutsk and 15 parishes from the Diocese of Samogitia. [1] The formation of the Diocese of Wigry was announced through the papal bull Prospiciendo feliciati fidelium on 11 July 1800. [2] In 1807, following the creation of the Duchy of Warsaw, 53 parishes of the Diocese were annexed by the Diocese of Vilnius. [3]
The Diocese of Wigry ceased to exist on 1818 through the papal bull Ex imposita nobis, which established the Diocese of Sejny or Augustów on the territory of the Diocese. [4]
