The Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Mary Most Holy in Astana (Latin: Archidioecesis Sanctae Mariae in Astanansis) is a Latin archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Kazakhstan.
Its cathedral episcopal see is the Marian Cathedral of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, in the Kazakh national capital Astana. Founding and only Apostolic administrator Tomasz Peta was appointed the first Archbishop of Mary Most Holy in Astana by John Paul II on May 17, 1999.
History
Pope John Paul II erected it as the Apostolic Administration of Astana on July 7, 1999, on territory split off from the then Apostolic Administration of Kazakhstan (which lost more territories and became the diocese of Karaganda and soon after, unusually, daughter diocese Astana's suffragan), and visited it in September 2001.
The same pope promoted it to the Archdiocese of Mary Most Holy in Astana on May 17, 2003.
Province
Its ecclesiastical province comprises the Metropolitan's own archdiocese and the following suffragan jurisdictions :
- Roman Catholic Diocese of Karaganda (its parent diocese)
- Roman Catholic Diocese of Santissima Trinità in Almaty.
- Apostolic Administration of Atyrau (a pre-diocesan type of jurisdiction which normally remains exempt, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See)
