The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth ((ラテン語:Archidioecesis Halifaxiensis-Yarmuthensis)) is a Roman Catholic archdiocese that includes part of the Province of Nova Scotia. Its cathedral episcopal see is a Minor Basilica: St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Its headquarters are at Chancery Office, P.O. Box 1527, 1531 Grafton St., Halifax, NS B3J 2Y3, Canada. Its current diocesan ordinary is Archbishop Anthony Mancini. == History == On territory originally a part of the Diocese of Quebec, including the whole of Nova Scotia, the future diocese of Halifax, was established on 4 September 1817 as the Apostolic Vicariate of Nova Scotia, a pre-diocesan jurisdiction entitled to a titular bishop and exempt, i.e. direcrly subject to the Hole See, not part of any ecclesiastical province. It was promoted to bishopric on February 15, 1842 and on 22 September 1844 lost territory to establish the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arichat, now its suffragan. In 1852, Halifax was elevated to an archdiocese. It lost territory twice more: on 19 February 1953 to establish the Apostolic Prefecture of Bermuda Islands and on 6 July 1953 to establish the Roman Catholic Diocese of Yarmouth. It enjoyed a papal visit from Pope John Paul II in September 1984. In December 2011, the Diocese of Yarmouth was merged back into the Archdiocese of Halifax, creating the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth.,〔(Diocese of Yarmouth joined with Archdiocese of Halifax )〕 which was renamed by absorbing its title. The former cathedral became the St. Ambrose Co-Cathedral, in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
