The Roman Catholic Diocese of Lucena (Lat: Dioecesis Lucenensis) is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines. The diocese was erected in 1950 from the Archdiocese of Lipa, and remains suffragan to the Archdiocese of Lipa. Two dioceses have been split off from Lucena, the Diocese of Boac in 1977, and the Diocese of Gumaca in 1984. The current bishop is Emilio Z. Marquez, appointed in 2003. 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.
