List of Catholic dioceses in the Philippines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Catholic dioceses in the Philippines are grouped into 16 ecclesiastical provinces, each of which comprises a metropolitan archdiocese and several suffragan dioceses and is headed by the archbishop, as the metropolitan bishop of the province.[1][2][3] The dioceses' bishops comprise the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), an episcopal conference.

Apostolic vicariates and the military ordinariate are not part of any ecclesiastical province, but are included in the table. Like diocesan bishops, they are the ordinary responsible for spiritual care the Catholics under them and are directly subject to the Holy See. Currently, there are six apostolic vicariates and one military ordinariate in the Philippines.
