(PORTUS VETERIS).

A suffragan see of the Archdiocese of Quito, Republic of Ecuador. It was erected
in 1871 and its jurisdiction extends over the political provinces of Manabi and
Esmeraldas, with a Catholic population (1909) of 78,000 souls, and forty-six
parishes. Besides the secular priests of the diocese, there are the following
religious orders: Capuchins, in charge of the missions in the northern section
of the Province of Esmeraldas; Oblates of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, engaged in
secondary instruction. The religious orders of women are: Benedictines,
Franciscans, and Sisters of Charity, all devoted to the education of girls. The
Seminario Mayor is situated at Portoviejo, the see of the diocese, and was
organized in 1888. There are also several schools and colleges, prominent among
which is the College of San José, conducted by the Oblates of the Sacred Heart.
The present bishop is Mgr Juan Maria Riesa, a Dominican, whose consecration took
place 19 Dec., 1907.
