It has its seat in Žilina. The current bishop is Tomáš Galis. History The diocese was established on 14 February 2008 from the northern parts of the Diocese of Nitra, which shifted more to the south and from a small part of the Diocese of Banská Bystrica.

April 2022 in consideration of the Evangelium of Mathew 28, 8–15. DeaneriesThe diocese currently has 12 deaneries in the towns: Notes
