On August 28, 1874, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Galveston was divided and the northern territory was canonically erected by the Holy See as the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Antonio. Originally part of the Ecclesiastical Province of New Orleans, it was subsequently elevated on August 3, 1926, to a metropolitan archdiocese.[7][8]

The archbishop of San Antonio also serves as the metropolitan of the ecclesiastical province of San Antonio with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Antonio overseeing the following suffragan dioceses: Amarillo, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Laredo, Lubbock, and San Angelo. All of Texas' dioceses had been suffragan sees under San Antonio until December 2004 when Pope John Paul II created the new Ecclesiastical Province of Galveston-Houston and elevated the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to a metropolitan see.[9]

History

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Antonio was erected as a diocese on August 28, 1874, under the then Diocese of Galveston.[7] It was elevated to an archdiocese on August 3, 1926.[8]

In 2010, it had 138 parishes, 34 missions and two pastoral centers. In 2018, it reported 139 parishes, 5 hospitals, 3 health care centers, 3 orphanages, 16 nurseries, 10 high schools, and 30 elementary schools.[4] With the appointment of Archbishop José Horacio Gómez as the Coadjutor Archbishop of Los Angeles, its cathedral was considered sede vacante until October 14, 2010.[7] On October 14, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Gustavo Garcia-Siller as archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Antonio.[10][11]

On January 31, 2019, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Antonio released a list of 56 Catholic clergy who were "credibly accused" of committing acts of sex abuse as early as 1940.[12][13]
