Its suffragan dioceses of San Jose and Cabanatuan in Nueva Ecija, along with the dioceses of Malolos in Bulacan (suffragan of Archdiocese of Manila), and Balanga (Bataan), Iba (Zambales) and Tarlac (Tarlac; suffragans of the Archdiocese of San Fernando), form the group of dioceses in Central Luzon.
History
The Diocese of Lingayen was created on May 19, 1928, comprising the entire province of Pangasinan. In 1954, because of the destruction brought on Lingayen by World War II, the see was transferred to Dagupan, and the diocese was named as the Diocese of Lingayen-Dagupan. The diocese was elevated to an archdiocese in 1963.[2][3]
