(詳細はRoman Catholic Church in Cyprus is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome. ==Description== There are around 10,000 Catholic faithful in Cyprus, corresponding to just over 1% of the total population. Most Catholic worshippers are either Maronites under their Archbishop, or Latins, under the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, with a Patriarchal Vicar General. The (Latin Catholic Church of Cyprus ) has four parishes: * Nicosia (Holy Cross ) Catholic Church, which maintains a mission at (St. Elizabeth ) Catholic Church in Kyrenia in the Turkish-controlled territories * Larnaca (St. Mary of Graces ) Catholic Church * Limassol (St. Catherine ) Catholic Church * The (Sisters of St. Bruno and Bethlehem ) have a small convent at Mesa Chorio served by the parish priest of Paphos. A recently constructed (hospice ) for palliative care, regardless of nationality or religious persuasion extends the works of charity of the Catholics in Cyprus, providing a valuable witness to the Culture of Life as the European Union enters a new phase of growth and development. * British Sovereign Base Areas There is also a Catholic presence by chaplains serving British military personnel, staff and dependents in the sovereign base areas of the island that were excluded from the territory taken over by the Republic of Cyprus at its independence from the UK in 1960. Permanent Catholic chapels exists and public masses are celebrated in English. 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 Catholicism in Cyprus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
