(CAJESENSIS)

Diocese in the republic of Haiti, suffragan to Port-au-Prince. The actual
ecclesiastical province of Port-au-Prince (the archdiocese and the four
suffragan dioceses of Cap Haïtien, Gonaives, Cayes, and Port-de-Paix) dates only
from the reorganization following upon the Concordat of 1860 between Pope Pius
IX and the Republic of Haiti; but the Faith was planted in this part of Santo
Domingo towards the end of fifteenth century, and despite the many political and
social vicissitudes of the island has never been quite extinguished there. The
jurisdiction of Bishop of Cayes (Monseigneur Jean-Marie-Alexandre Morice,
elected 4 March, 1893) extends over the whole civil Department of the South
(Werner, Orb.Terr.Cath., Freiburg 1890) and his episcopal see is at Cayes
(commonly spoken of as Aux Cayes), a seaport in the extreme south-western part
of the island. This diocese is divided into 25 parishes containing altogether a
population of 500,000, almost without exception Catholics by profession.
According to the "Annuaire pontifical" for 1907, there were 95 churches or
chapels in the diocese, with 35 secular priests.



The Catholic progress of Cayes since the first settlement of Santo Domingo, as
well as the educational, racial, and economic conditions and development of the
district, have been substantially the same as in the northern diocese of Haiti.
(See Cap Haïtien.)
