List of Catholic dioceses in Macedonia
The Catholic Church in the Republic of Macedonia has no national episcopal conference, given its tiny episcopate (one Latin bishopric and one pre-diocesan Eastern Catholic see), which participates in the International Episcopal Conference of Saints Cyril and Methodius (as do Balkanic neighbors Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia, all also former Yugoslavian constituent republics).
There formally is an Apostolic Nunciature as papal diplomatic representation (embassy-level) to Macedonia, but it's vested in the Apostolic Nunciature to Bulgaria in its capital Sofia
Current jurisdictions
Latin see
- Roman Catholic Diocese of Skopje, suffragan of the Bosnian Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sarajevo (Vrhbosna)
Eastern Catholic see
- Macedonian Catholic Apostolic Vicariate of Macedonia, pre-diocesan (hence exempt, i.e. directly subject to The Holy See and its Roman Congregation for the Oriental Churches) and so far vested in the Latin bishopric of Skopje, yet constitutes the only jurisdiction of the Macedonian Catholic (rite- & language-specific) particular church sui iuris
Defunct jurisdictions
- Excluding direct predecessors of current sees above
Defunct Eastern Catholic jurisdictions
- Bulgarian Catholic Apostolic Vicariate of Macedonia (also in Greece)
