Pope Leo XIV recently established a new diocese in China: the diocese of Zhangjiakou. Zhangjiakou (pictured below) is a city in China's Hebei Province. The creation of this new diocese coincides with the suppression of the nearby dioceses of Xuanhua and Xiwanzi; much of the territory of those two previous dioceses will now be included in the diocese of Zhangjiakou. The new Bishop of Zhangjiakou is Father Wang Zhengui, who has previously ministered in both Xuanhua and Xiwanzi.
We invite you to read more about the establishment of this new diocese in Vatican News and America Magazine. For more discussions about the Church in China, we invite you to read about our upcoming 30th Biennial Conference, to be held in Austin, Texas on July 31–August 2, 2026.
