List of Catholic dioceses in Lithuania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Catholic Church in Lithuania is currently entirely Latin and composed of

  • two ecclesiastical provinces, with a total of five suffragan dioceses.
  • the exempt military ordinariate.

Episcopal Conference of Lithuania[edit]

Exempt jurisdiction sui iuris[edit]

Ecclesiastical Province of Kaunas[edit]

Ecclesiastical Province of Vilnius[edit]

Defunct jurisdictions[edit]

There are no titular sees.

All Latin defunct jurisdictions have current successors, unlike the only Eastern Catholic diocesan see(s).

The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Vilnius (Byzantine Rite, since 1809) was suppressed in 1828 and immediately replaced by the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Žyrovyci, only to be suppressed again in 1833, without successor.
