The '''Archdiocese of Québec''', a [[Latin Rite]] [[Archdiocese]], is an active ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in [[Canada]], encompassing the north-central region of [[Quebec]]. Founded in 1658 as the Apostolic Vicariate of New France by [[Pope Alexander VII]] and elevated to an archdiocese in 1819, it is led by Archbishop Gérald Cyprien Lacroix as of 2011. As the primatial see of Canada and metropolitan see of the [[Province of Québec]], it oversees a vibrant Catholic community across 38 parishes and missions. A notable aspect is its 350th anniversary celebration in 2024, which drew international attention with a papal envoy, underscoring its historic role as the oldest diocese in the New World north of Mexico.
