Aloysius Murwito was an Indonesian Roman Catholic prelate and Franciscan friar who served as the second Bishop of Agats in Indonesia. Born on December 20, 1950, in Sleman, Yogyakarta, he joined the Order of Friars Minor and was ordained a priest before being appointed to lead the Diocese of Agats, succeeding Alphonsus Augustus Sowada when Sowada’s retirement took effect in May 2001. As bishop he shepherded one of Indonesia’s most remote dioceses, in the swampy Asmat region of South Papua, where the Church’s work reaches scattered river communities. He died on November 12, 2026, at Panti Rapih Hospital in Yogyakarta, aged 75.
