Catholic Church in Seychelles

The Catholic Church has been active in Seychelles since the arrival of Léon des Avanchers in 1851. An apostolic prefecture administered by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Port-Louis was established in 1851, raised to an apostolic vicariate in 1880, and became the Roman Catholic Diocese of Port Victoria in 1892.
