PUERTO MONTT, DIOCESE OF. - Diocese of Chile in South America, suffragan of the Most Holy Conception.

The diocese has an area of 25,000 sq km and a population of 145,000 inhabitants, of whom 134,000 are Catholics; it has 20 parishes with 26 diocesan priests and 23 regulars, 2 male religious communities and 11 female ones (Ann. Pont., 1952, p. 330).

By the apostolic constitution Summi Pontificatus of Pope Pius XII, it was erected as a diocese on 1 April 1939, by dismemberment from the diocese of S. Carlo de Ancud, raising to the dignity and title of cathedral the church of the B.V.M. del Carmelo.
