Sitipa also known as Sitipensis is a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church centered in North Africa.[1]
Very little is known of the history of the bishopric. A Catholic Bishop Argyrius was present at the Council of Carthage (411)[2] but the actual location of the seat of the diocese (a town called Sitipensis Plebs) is unknown.[3][4]
The titular bishopric was only added to the list of titular bishops in 1989.
The current bishop is Ignatius Chung Wang of San Francisco.[5]
