The Roman Catholic Diocese of Gumaca (Lat: Dioecesis Gumacana) is a Roman Catholic diocese in the Philippines centered in the Municipality of Gumaca in Quezon province. The Roman Rite Latin Church diocese covers the communities of Gumaca; Pitogo, due south of Gumaca; and all the parishes of eastern Quezon province situated east of Gumaca and Pitogo. The Gumaca diocese was erected in 1984, carved out from the Diocese of Lucena. Both dioceses are suffragan of the Archdiocese of Lipa.

History

On September 30, 2024, Pope Francis appointed Rev. Fr. Euginius “Eugene” Longakit Cañete, M.J. (born 8 Jul 1966) as fourth bishop of Gumaca.

He was episcopally ordained at the Antipolo Cathedral on December 28, 2024, by Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David with co-consecrators Archbishop José S. Palma and Bishop Ruperto Santos, in the presence of Apostolic Nuncio Charles John Brown who read and delivered the Pontifical Mandate. The rite of canonical possession-installation was solemnly held at the Gumaca Cathedral of San Diego de Alcala on January 4, 2025.
