| Paul Mea |
Paul Eusebius Mea Kaiuea (16 December 1939 - 24 June 2021) was a Kiribati Roman Catholic prelate bishop of the Diocese of Tarawa and Nauru from 1978 to 2020.
Mea was born in Gilbert and Ellice Islands and was ordained in 1969 as a priest of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart. He was then appointed as the parish priest of North Tarawa. His work brought him to the attention of French Bishop Pierre Guichet, and in 1978, Mea succeeded him as the diocese bishop when it encompassed all of Gilbert Islands, soon independent Kiribati, Nauru, and Tuvalu. In 1982, Tuvalu was removed from the jurisdiction of the diocese. In 2020, he became emeritus after his resignation and was replaced by elected Koru Tito.[1]
Paul Mea died on June 24, 2021.[2]
