Diocese of Vanuatu and New Caledonia

The Diocese of Vanuatu and New Caledonia is one of the ten dioceses within the Anglican Church of Melanesia.

Originally established as the Diocese of the New Hebrides in 1975,[1][2] it was inaugurated the same year at Lolowai on Aoba Island.

The diocese was renamed the Diocese of Vanuatu c. 1980 following the Republic of Vanuatu's independence,[3] and around 2010, it adopted its current name to include New Caledonia.

The diocese is organized into eight regions and 39 parishes, with its headquarters in Luganville.
