Ecclesiastical region
An ecclesiastical region (Latin: regio ecclesiastica) is a formally organised geographical group of dioceses, ecclesiastical provinces or parishes, without a proper Ordinary as such, in Catholic or Protestant Churches.
Apart from historical other uses, there are presently ecclesiastical regions, grouping parts of the extensive episcopate in five Catholic countries.
The equivalent 'apostolic regions' in France, created in 1961, were suppressed in 2004.
The Catholic Church in Italy is divided into 16 ecclesiastical regions. The regions mostly correspond to the 20 civil administrative regions of Italy.
The regions -covering the federal state(s) in parentheses- comprise the following ecclesiastical province(s) :
Four regions, each comprising several Latin provinces - Ontario and West also the Eastern Catholic province/eparchies, West also a non-metropolitan Latin archdiocese :
Each region covers one or more ecclesiastical provinces :
The dioceses of the United States are grouped into fifteen regions which, strictly speaking, are not "ecclesiastical regions" established by the Holy See, but rather regions that the USCCB established for convenience. They are not canonically established bodies. Fourteen of the regions (numbered I through XIV) are geographically based, for the Latin Catholic dioceses, the Eastern Catholic eparchies (dioceses) constitute the overlapping 'Region' XV.
