List of Catholic dioceses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
January 01, 1970
The Roman Catholic Church in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Belgian Congo, Zaire; also known as Congo-Kinshasa) is composed only of a Latin hierarchy, united in the national Episcopal Conference of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (French Conférence Episcopale Nationale du Congo (CENCO) ), comprising six ecclesiastical provinces, each under a Metropolitan Archbishop, and a total of 41 suffragan dioceses, each under a bishop.
There are no Eastern Catholic, pre-diocesan or other exempt jurisdictions.
There are no titular sees. The only defunct jurisdiction without proper current successor see, Diocese of Bikoro, is nevertheless preserved in its heir Mbandaka-Bikoro's title.
There is an Apostolic Nunciature to the Democratic Republic of Congo as papal diplomatic representation (embassy-level), in the national capital Kinshasa.
