Roman Catholic Diocese of Zamość-Lubaczów, Catholic Diocese in Zamość and Lubaczów, Poland
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Zamość-Lubaczów is a diocese serving eastern Poland with approximately 481,000 believers organized through a network of parishes. It operates through 185 parishes and four missions, all coordinated from its headquarters in Zamość.
The diocese was established in 1991 following the collapse of communist rule in Eastern Europe and the reorganization of Poland's religious structures. This creation was part of a broader restructuring of Catholic administration in the region during this period of change.
The Cathedral of the Resurrection and Saint Thomas the Apostle in Zamość serves as the spiritual center where the community gathers for services and celebrations. The church reflects the deep connection of local people to their faith and shapes the rhythm of religious life in the region.
The diocesan office is located in Zamość and coordinates all activities throughout the diocese. Visitors can explore the religious life of the region through the various parish churches and centers spread across the area.
The diocese splits its spiritual leadership between two cities: Zamość with its cathedral and Lubaczów with its co-cathedral, which is an uncommon structure in church administration. This two-city arrangement reflects the complex religious history of the region.
