On June 29, 1951 [[Pope Pius XII]] elevated [[Cagayan de Oro]] to an archdiocese together with Jaro. The [[Archdiocese]] of Cagayan de Oro became the first archdiocese in Mindanao. It had as its suffragans all the dioceses and prelatures then in Mindanao: [[Surigao City|Surigao]], [[Cotabato]], [[Sulu]], [[Davao City|Davao]], [[Ozamiz]], and [[Zamboanga City|Zamboanga]] which had been its mother diocese. It became an archdiocese seven years ahead of its mother diocese, Zamboanga.
 
And on December 31, 1954, Clovis Thibault, P.M.E. was appointed as prelate and on February 11, 1955, he was ordained as bishop. When Davao was later elevated into a diocese, Bishop Thibault was canonically instituted as its ruling bishop on July 11, 1966.
