The '''Diocese of Charleston''', a [[suffragan diocese]] of the [[Latin Rite]], is an active diocese encompassing the entire state of [[South Carolina]] in the [[United States]]. Founded in 1820 by [[Pope Pius VII]], it is led by Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune as of 2022. As part of the [[Ecclesiastical Province of Atlanta]], the diocese serves a growing Catholic community in the Southeast, with over 200,000 registered Catholics across 95 parishes and 21 missions. A notable aspect is its recent Eucharistic Congress in 2024, which featured a procession with over 1,700 participants, highlighting renewed devotion to the Eucharist. | |||
