List of Catholic dioceses in Indian Ocean Episcopal Conference

Add article description


The Roman Catholic Church in the lesser East African Indian Ocean states (not Madagascar) is composed of only a Latin hierarchy, without a proper ecclesiastical province but joined in a single episcopal conference,
comprising five exempt jurisdictions, i.e. directly dependent on the Holy See :

There are no titular sees.

All defunct jurisdictions have current successors.

There are also three papal diplomatic representations (in fact all vested in the apostolic nunciature (embassy) on Madagascar) :

  • an apostolic nunciature to Mauritius
  • an apostolic nunciature to the Seychelles
  • an apostolic delegation (papal legation) to the Comoros;
    none to Mayotte or Réunion, as those depend on metropolitan France without full statehood.

Current jurisdictions

Episcopal Conference of the Indian Ocean (minor African East Coast Island states)

all Immediately subject to the Holy See
