Catholic Church of Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands

​

The Catholic Church of Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands, consists of dioceses.

A diocese is a portion of the People of God entrusted to a Bishop to be nurtured by him with the help of the priest belonging to different parishes.

​

The CBC Secretariat relates to all these dioceses and coodinates the ministries through various commissions of CBCPNGSI.  

​

The words “diocese” and “parish” come from legal words in ancient Roman law that refers to administrative jurisdiction headed by a civic official. The Church adopted these words to describe its own organization. A diocese is divided into deaneries and parishes that especially in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands includes parish communities.

​

The Parishes themselves are made up of church communities that contains Basic Christian Community (BCC). There are Catholic dioceses in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands.
