History
Cariblanco is in the Diócesis de Alajuela within the Metropolitan Archdiocese of San José de Costa Rica. Administratively it is part of the canton of Alajuela, and province of Alajuela. The Diócesis de Alajuela was erected on 16 February 1921 from the Diócesis de San José de Costa Rica. The diocese lost territory to the Diocese of San Isidro de El General on 19 August 1954. It lost territory again 22 July 1961 to the Diocese of Tilarán. It lost territory one more time 25 July 1995 to the Diocese of Ciudad Quesada. Records kept at the parish level likely stayed within the parish, but records made before these events may be housed in another diocesan archive depending on how they decided to keep the records.
