Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem

The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem extends its jurisdiction across Cyprus, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine as a principal Catholic institution in the region.

The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem was established in 1099 following the capture of Jerusalem, and Pope Pius IX restored it as a residential seat in 1847.

The Patriarchate maintains a network of 65 parishes with 414 priests and 1,076 religious sisters serving the Arab Christian communities in four territories.

The Latin Patriarchate coordinates educational programs and humanitarian initiatives through six vicariates supporting Christian communities across the Middle East.

The Saint Sepulchre Basilica functions as the cathedral of the Patriarchate, which oversees eight minor basilicas including those in Nazareth and Bethlehem.
