JURUA. - A "nullius" prelature in the State of Amazonas in Brazil.

It has an area of 20,000 sq km with 78,000 inhabitants, of whom 75,000 are Catholics; it has 6 parishes with 11 regular priests, 6 male religious communities and 1 female (Annuario Pontificio, 1951, p. 629).

The prelature was created by Pope Pius XI with the apostolic constitution Munus regendi universum of 22 May 1931, by dismemberment from the diocese of Amazonas, raising to prelatial dignity the church of the B. V. M. Assunta in the city of Cruzeiro do Sul, the residential see of the prelature itself, which is a suffragan of Belem de Pará.
