Ecclesiastical Province of Birmingham

The Ecclesiastical Province of Birmingham is a regional division within the Roman Catholic Church in England, comprising the Archdiocese of Birmingham and several nearby dioceses. It functions as a coordinated pastoral and administrative grouping led by an archbishop, facilitating collaboration among local churches. This organizational structure helps manage clergy, support community initiatives, and promote faith across the region, covering areas like the West Midlands and surrounding counties. Instead of a geographical city government, it is a church administrative region serving the spiritual needs of Catholics in that area.
