History
On June 18, 1962, Pope John XXIII erected the Territorial Prelature of San Jose de Antique with the Apostolic Constitution "Novae cuiusque Ecclesiae constitutio". The new territorial prelature was separated from the Archdiocese of Jaro comprising the whole province of Antique and became a suffragan to the Archdiocese of Jaro.
On November 15, 1982, Pope John Paul II elevated San Jose de Antique and other territorial prelatures to the rank of diocese while remaining a suffragan to Jaro.
On January 7, 2019, after a year Pope Francis appointed Msgr. Marvyn Maceda, Vicar General of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Naval in Biliran, as the 5th Bishop of San Jose de Antique.
