List of Catholic dioceses in Uruguay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The diocesan system of Christian church government in Uruguay comprises one ecclesiastical province headed by an archbishop. The province is in turn subdivided into 8 dioceses and 1 archdiocese each headed by a bishop or an archbishop.

The province had had 9 suffragan dioceses, but on 2 March 2020, the Diocese of Minas was suppressed by combining it with the Diocese of Maldonado-Punta del Este to form the Diocese of Maldonado-Punta del Este-Minas.
