Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte (''Dioecesis Carolinana''), is a diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in the southern United States. It is made up of 46 counties in western North Carolina, which are divided into ten vicariates, named for and administered from Albemarle, Asheville, Boone, Gastonia, Greensboro, Hickory, Mecklenburg, Salisbury, Smoky Mountain and Winston-Salem. Charlotte and the Piedmont Triad are the largest metropolitan areas in the diocese. The Charlotte See is a suffragan diocese of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
Canonically erected on November 12, 1971 by Pope Paul VI, the diocese took its territories from the neighboring Diocese of Raleigh.〔 The Charlotte See is led by a bishop who serves as pastor of the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in Charlotte, North Carolina. Peter Joseph Jugis is the current bishop. The Diocese is also home to two of the three basilicas in North Carolina, the Basilica of St. Lawrence and the Basilica of Our Lady Help of Christians.
==History==
The Diocese of Raleigh, established in 1924, was the first diocese in North Carolina.〔“Diocese.” Dioceseofraleigh.org. The Catholic Diocese of Raleigh, 2013. Web. 20 Sept. 2013. www.dioceseofraleigh.org/who/diocese〕 It included the entire State until the formation of the Diocese of Charlotte on January 12 of 1972. At that time, Michael Joseph Begley, a priest in the Diocese of Raleigh, was ordained and installed as the first Bishop of Charlotte.〔David Hains, ''(Voices and Places of the People of God: The Diocese of Charlotte )'' (Strasbourg: Editions du Signe, 2006), 16.〕 Bishop Begley served as Ordinary of the Diocese until his retirement at age seventy-five in May 1984, after which he was named Apostolic Administrator.〔http://www.charlottediocese.org/history〕 When the new Diocese was established, the Catholic population of the area was just over 34,000. John Francis Donoghue, a priest of the Archdiocese of Washington, succeeded Bishop Begley in late 1984, and was appointed Bishop of Charlotte by the Holy See on 6 November. He was subsequently ordained and installed as second Bishop of Charlotte on 18 December 1984.〔Hains, ''Voices and Places'', 16.〕 The population of Catholics in Charlotte continued to grow, and Bishop Donoghue declared in the early 1990s that it would be the "Decade of Evangelization.〔The Diocese of Charlotte, 2013. History of the Diocese of Charlotte. Web. 20 Sept. 2013. http://www.charlottediocese.org/component/content/article/351-history/302-2011-04-19-13-09-19〕" Bishop Donoghue was appointed Archbishop of Atlanta on 22 June 1993, and was installed on 18 August 1993.〔 He was replaced by William G. Curlin, Auxiliary Bishop of Washington and Titular Bishop of Rosemarkie, on 13 April 1994.〔 Bishop Curlin served the Diocese of Charlotte until his retirement on September 10, 2002.〔 At this time, the population of the diocese had grown to approximately 87,000 people. On August 1, 2003, the Pope appointed Peter J. Jugis, Judicial Vicar and Pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes in Monroe, as the fourth Bishop of Charlotte, which he remains to this day. He was consecrated on October 24, 2003.〔
The total population of the diocese as of 2010 was approximately 4.8 million people. Of this number, 174,689 were registered Catholics (3.6% of the total population), living in a little over 63,000 households. This number does not include an estimated 230,000 undocumented Hispanic or Latino Catholics.〔The Diocese of Charlotte. Pastoral Report, 2010. Web. 20 Sept. 2013. http://charlottediocese.org/statistics〕 The diocese encompasses three main areas of population: the Triad Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem; Charlotte; and the mountains.
