St Agustinus Church, Manokwari.
This church was the cathedral ("bishop's church") of the Diocese until in 1975 the bishop moved from Manokwari to the faster-growing city Sorong, 300 kilometres to the east (and 4,000 kilometres from Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia). The area is now called the Diocese of Manokwari-Sorong. The church was built and named during the time that the first bishop of the area was Most Rev Peter van Diepen O.S.A., who retired in 1988 and died in April 2005.
