Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington : ウィキペディア英語版 | Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington ((ラテン語:Dioecesis Covingtonensis)) is a Roman Catholic diocese in Northern Kentucky, covering that includes the city of Covington and the following Kentucky counties: Boone, Kenton, Campbell, Gallatin, Carroll, Grant, Owen, Pendleton, Harrison, Bracken, Robertson, Mason, Fleming, and Lewis. The current bishop is the Most Reverend Roger Joseph Foys, D.D. The cathedral church of the diocese is the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption. ==History==
The diocese was founded on July 29, 1853 by Pope Pius IX. Installed as the first bishop of Covington was the sitting president of Xavier University in Cincinnati, Father George Aloysius Carrell, S.J. The diocese originally consisted of the eastern half of Kentucky, with the Diocese of Louisville containing the western half. Historically, the diocese was composed primarily of descendants of German immigrants to the towns of Covington and Newport in the mid-19th century, who came after the revolutions of 1848. The Catholic communities of both Cincinnati and Louisville had a similar demographic. Much of the parish architecture in the diocese reflects this German cultural heritage. In 1988, the southern portion of the diocese was incorporated into the new Diocese of Lexington.
