Roman Catholic Diocese of Laghouat
Roman Catholic diocese in Algeria
The Diocese of Laghouat (Latin: Dioecesis Laghuatensis) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or diocese of the Catholic Church covering the sparsely populated Saharan inland of Algeria.
It is immediately exempt to the Holy See and not part of any ecclesiastical province, and depends on the missionary Roman Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
The bishops cathedra is found in the Pro-Cathedral of Ghardaïa in the episcopal see of Ghardaïa. The former cathedral is the now-deconsecrated church of Saint Hilarion, in the city of Laghouat.
