The Catholic Church in Estonia (a Baltic former Soviet republic, like Latvia and Lithuania) presently comprises only a pre-diocesan Latin rite jurisdiction, covering (only) the entire country :

  • Apostolic Administration of Estonia, obviously not warranting a national episcopal conference, nor partaking in any more regional assembly then the EU-broad Commissio Episcopatuum Communitatis Europææ (COM.E.C.E.).

There are no Eastern Catholic or other Latin prelatures.

There formally is an Apostolic Nunciature (papal diplomatic representation, embassy-level) to Estonia, but it's vested (like that to Latvia) in the Apostolic Nunciature to Lithuania in its national capital Vilnius.

Defunct Latin jurisdictions

There are no titular sees.


None of the following has a current direct successor in Estonia, some (at least canonically) one abroad.

Suppressed Livonian prince-bishoprics
Suppressed non-princely Latin sees
