Diocese of (specific diocese)

A diocese is a regional subdivision of the Catholic Church overseen by a bishop, serving as a community of parishes and believers within its geographic area. It functions as the Church’s local administrative unit, responsible for spiritual guidance, worship, and the implementation of Church teachings. The bishop ensures faithfulness to doctrine, oversees religious activities, and provides pastoral care. Dioceses vary in size and population, but collectively they form the foundation of the Church’s organizational structure, facilitating communication and unity among local congregations.
