Sitipa

Africa Proconsularis (125 AD).

Sitipa also known as Sitipensis is a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church, centered in North Africa and suffran to the Archdiocese of Carthage.[1][2][3]

Very little is known of the history of the bishopric. A Catholic Bishop Maximianus [4] was present at the Council of Carthage (411)[5] but the actual location of the seat of the diocese (a town called Sitipensis Plebs) is unknown.[6][7]

The titular bishopric was only added to the list of titular bishops in 1989.

The current bishop is Ignatius Chung Wang of San Francisco.[8]
