List of Roman Catholic bishops of Hong Kong

[3] As a Crown colony of the United Kingdom at the time,[4] Hong Kong was unaffected by this and relations with the Vatican continued unabated.

[5] Theodore Joset was appointed its first ordinary, and under his reign, the city's first Catholic church was built on Wellington Street.

It was raised to the level of diocese on 11 April 1946,[5] as part of the establishment of the ecclesiastical hierarchy in China under the papal bull Quotidie Nos by Pope Pius XII.

[9] Francis Hsu, the ninth ordinary of the diocese, was the first ethnically Chinese bishop of Hong Kong.

[11] Wu had the longest tenure as Bishop of Hong Kong, serving for 27 years from 1975 to 2002, while his immediate predecessor Peter Lei held the position for seven months (1973–1974), marking the shortest episcopacy.
