Augurus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Augurus was an ancient city and former bishopric in Roman Africa, now a Latin Catholic titular see. Its presumed site is at the ruins of Sidi-Tahar and Sidi-Embarec in Algeria.

History

[edit]

Augurus was important enough in the Roman province of Numidia to become one of its many suffragan sees, and faded like most.

Titular see

[edit]

The diocese was nominally restored in 1933 as Latin titular bishopric.

It has had the following incumbents, of the fitting episcopal (lowest) rank :

  • Michel-Maurice-Augustin-Marie Darmancier, Marists (S.M.) (1961.12.22 – 1966.06.21)
  • Victor-Julien-André Gouet (1966.12.30 – 1988.12.15)
  • Gilles Lussier (1988.12.23 – 1991.09.07)
  • Simon Akwali Okafor (1992.03.06 – 1994.09.09)
  • Edwin Michael Conway (1995.01.24 – 2004.08.09)
  • João Carlos Petrini (2005.01.12 – 2010.12.15)
  • José Francisco Falcão de Barros (2011.02.16 – ...), Auxiliary Bishop of the Military Ordinariate of Brazil (Brazil)
