Abstract
In the archive of the congregation “Propaganda Fide” in Rome are to be found the reports of the Sophia archbishop Marko Andrijašević concerning the Trebinje bishopric in 1773 when he was its apostolic administrator. This report is important because for the first time, as far as the author knows, it gives the number of Catholics within the bishopric according to the parishes and the villages in which they lived. It is also important because it gives the number of Orthodox and Muslim families which lived in places inhabited by Catholics. According to this report the Trebinje bishopric at that time had 386 families and 3.573 Catholics. The same area was populated by 148 Orthodox and 232 Muslim families.
