History

It was established on 3 July 1848 as Diocese of Cherson, on Czarist territory split off from the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Mohilev, but was already renamed Tiraspol in 1952.

It lost territory in 1921 to the Romanian Diocese of Iaşi, and again on 28 October 1993, to establish the Apostolic Administration of Moldova (now the diocese of Chisinau, covering the post-soviet republic of that name).

On 11 February 2002, it was suppressed, its territory being merged into the Russian Diocese of Saint Clement at Saratov.
