Archbishop of Baltimore

The Archbishop of Baltimore is the senior Catholic bishop in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Maryland, which is one of the oldest dioceses in the United States, established in 1789. As an archbishop, he oversees the spiritual and administrative functions of the archdiocese, provides guidance to local parishes, and represents the Catholic Church in the region. The position carries significance in the Church, particularly because Baltimore was the first diocese in the U.S. to receive an archbishop, making it an important center for Catholic leadership in the country.
