The Roman Catholic Diocese of Hwalien (Lat: Dioecesis Hvalienensis) is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in Taiwan. Erected as the Apostolic Prefecture of Hwalien in 1952, the Prefecture was elevated to a full diocese, in 1963. The diocese is suffragan to the Archdiocese of Taipei. The current bishop is Philip Huang Chao-ming, appointed in November 2001. A diocese is the district or see under the supervision of a bishop, it is divided into parishes. An archdiocese is more significant than a diocese. An archdiocese is presided over by an archbishop whose see may have or had importance due to size or historical significance. The archbishop may have metropolitan authority over any other (then 'suffragan') bishops and their dioceses within his archdiocese.
