Catholic Archdiocese

A Catholic Archdiocese is a major regional church district led by an Archbishop, overseeing multiple local parishes within a larger geographic area. It serves as a central hub for coordinating ministry, supporting priests, and guiding the spiritual health of the community. Archdioceses often have a significant historical or cultural importance and may have several dioceses (smaller districts) under their jurisdiction. The Archbishop provides leadership, ensures adherence to church teachings, and represents the Church in civic and interfaith relations, playing a key role in maintaining the unity and strength of the Catholic community within the region.
