Archdiocese of (various locations)

An archdiocese is a major administrative district within the Catholic Church, overseen by an archbishop. It typically covers a large geographic area that includes multiple dioceses, which are smaller church jurisdictions. The archdiocese provides leadership, support, and coordination for its member dioceses, ensuring that church teachings and activities are consistent. The archbishop acts as a senior church leader, representing the church in the region, overseeing clergy, and handling administrative functions. Essentially, an archdiocese functions as a central organizational hub within the church’s hierarchy, fostering unity and guiding the local Catholic community across a broad area.
