Roman Catholic Diocese of Susa

Roman Catholic Diocese of Susa

The Italian Catholic diocese of Susa, in Piedmont, has existed since 1772. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Turin.[1]

History

In early medieval days, Susa seems to have belonged to the Diocese of Maurienne. The Abbey of St. Justus having been erected in 1029, the abbot had quasi-episcopal jurisdiction. The Benedictines succeeded the Canons Regular, and under Pope Benedict XIV were replaced by secular canons.

In 1772 this prelacy nullius became a diocese, and the territory of Novalesa Abbey was added to that of Susa. The first bishop was Francesco M. Ferraris. Napoleon suppressed the see in 1803, but it was restored in 1817, and its territory increased by the inclusion of the Abbey of S. Michele della Chiusa.[2]

Parishes

The diocese contains 61 parishes covering an area of 1,062 km2[3], all of which fall within the Province of Turin.[4] locations (villages or neighbourhoods) within a commune are shown in brackets.
