Diocese of Boké


The Roman Catholic Diocese of Boké is a diocese of the Roman Catholic Church based in the city of Boké, in the Ecclesiastical Province of Conakry in Guinea.

History

In 2022, local leaders began to take an interest in facilitating inter-religious dialogue. Those early dialogues included Catholic representatives.
The diocese was created by Pope Francis on February 22, 2024, from territory of the Archdiocese of Conakry. The new diocese covers much of the civil Boké Region—excluding part of the Boffa Prefecture—and was erected in response to the "pastoral needs of a rapidly growing region." In the same decree which erected the diocese, the Pope named Moïse Tinguiano as the diocese's first bishop.
