The Roman Catholic Diocese of Shanghai (Latin: Dioecesis Sciamhaevensis) is an ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in China. It was erected on December 13, 1933 as the Apostolic Vicariate of Shanghai by Pope Pius XI, and was later elevated to the rank of a diocese on April 11, 1946 by Pope Pius XII. The diocese is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Nanking. The diocese's motherchurch and thus seat of its bishop is St. Ignatius Cathedral; it also houses a minor basilica in Sheshan. In 1950, Pope Pius XII appointed the bishop of Suzhou, Ignatius Gong Pingmei, bishop of Shanghai. In 1955, he was arrested and in 1960 given a life sentence.
