List of Catholic dioceses in Russia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Catholic Church in Russia, united in the Episcopal Conference of Russia, comprises

  • one Latin ecclesiastical province (the Metropolitan archdiocese of Moscow, with three Suffragan dioceses) and a missionary (hence exempt) apostolic prefecture.
  • The Eastern Catholics have two proper jurisdictions, each belonging to a different particular church sui iuris and using a different rite.

There are no exempt Latin jurisdictions.

There is an Apostolic Nunciature as papal diplomatic representation (embassy-level) to the Russian Federation in the national capital Moscow.
