Tigamibena

Tigamibena was an ancient city and bishopric in Roman Mauretania.
It was located in modern Algeria. It is now a Latin Catholic titular see.

History

Tigamibena was one of many towns in the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis, important enough to become a suffragan of its capital Caesarea in Mauretania, the Metropolitan Archbishopric. It faded, like most in Roman Africa.

Titular see

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Titular bishopric of Tigamibena, Latin adjective Tigamibenen.
It has had the following incumbents, so far of the fitting Episcopal rank :

Benjamin Ibberson Webster as emeritate; previously Titular Bishop of Paphus as Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto, then Bishop of Peterborough
Patrick Kla Juwle as Apostolic Vicar of Cape Palmas
Bishop-elect Faustin Ngabu as Coadjutor Bishop of Goma, succeeded as Bishop of Goma, also President of Association of Episcopal Conferences of Central Africa, President of National Episcopal Conference of Congo
Edward Marian Frankowski, first as Auxiliary Bishop of Przemyśl, then as Auxiliary Bishop of Sandomierz, finally as emeritate.
