(Redirected from List of Roman Catholic dioceses in South Sudan)
The Catholic Church in Sudan and South Sudan is composed of
- one Latin hierarchy, united in one single episcopal conference, designated as Sudan Catholic Bishops’ Conference, comprising an ecclesiastical province under a Metropolitan Archdiocese per country, with a total of 7 suffragan dioceses.
- three Eastern Catholic transnational jurisdictions, each covering both countries (the Melkite one mainly in Egypt).
There is also an Apostolic nunciature to Sudan (papal diplomatic representation, embassy-level) in national capital Khartoum (into which to nunciature to Eritrea is also vested),
and an Apostolic nunciature to South Sudan, but that last office in vested in the nunciature to Kenya (in Nairobi).
