Category:Roman Catholic dioceses in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman Catholic Church in the United States, informally known as the American Catholic Church, is divided into 195 ecclesiastical territories called dioceses led by prelate bishops. In the United States, state counties are used to determine diocesan territories. Dioceses led by archbishops are called archdioceses. There are 32 archdioceses which serve as the seats of 32 metropolitan provinces of the Roman Catholic Church.
In addition to the 195 dioceses, there are several other dioceses in the nation's overseas dependencies. There are also dioceses and eparchies of the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches. A special archdiocese was created by the Vatican for the United States military. Such bodies may be organized into metropolitan provinces of their own.
All bishops, prelate and auxiliary, are members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
