High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Latin Rite Catholic Archdiocese of Wellington, one of the two original dioceses in New Zealand (along with the Diocese of Auckland, erected as a suffragan diocese on 20 June 1848) dates its formal history from when the Church erected it on 20 June 1848. (Previously the Church government operated within the framework of the Apostolic Vicariate of New Zealand, erected in 1842, and with Jean Baptiste Pompallier as Vicar Apostolic.) As the sole Metropolitan Archdiocese in New Zealand (since 10 May 1887), it has responsibility for all other New Zealand Roman Catholic dioceses. Portions of the original territory subsequently formed into the additional dioceses of Dunedin (26 November 1869), Christchurch (5 May 1887), and Palmerston North (6 March 1980).
