Roman Catholic Diocese of Nitra

The Diocese of Nitra administers an area of 5,932 square kilometers, serving approximately 684,000 people across multiple towns and communities in Slovakia.

Established in 880 during Great Moravia, the Diocese of Nitra emerged from the Diocese of Regensburg, with Saint Methodius appointed as its first bishop.

The Diocese maintains Saint Emmeram's Cathedral in Nitra as its primary church, following Roman Catholic traditions and conducting services in the Roman Rite.

The Diocese coordinates 196 parishes and 18 missions, with 339 priests and 237 religious personnel providing services to the Catholic population.

The reorganization in 2008 modified the diocese territory, creating a connecting strip to Nitra city from the Archdiocese of Bratislava-Trnava.
