The '''Diocese of Arlington''' (Latin: ''Dioecesis Arlingtonensis''), a [[suffragan diocese]] of the [[Latin Rite]], is an active diocese encompassing 21 counties and seven independent cities in Northern Virginia in the [[United States]]. Established on May 28, 1974, by [[Pope Paul VI]], it was formed by separating territory from the [[Diocese of Richmond]]. It is led by Bishop Michael F. Burbidge as of 2016. As part of the [[Ecclesiastical Province of Baltimore]], the diocese serves a rapidly growing Catholic community in a diverse suburban region near the nation's capital, with the Cathedral of St. Thomas More as its mother church. A notable aspect is its strong vocational growth, exemplified by the ordination of 12 new priests in 2025, the second-largest class in its history.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/darli.html |title=Diocese of Arlington |website=Catholic-Hierarchy.org |accessdate=2025-12-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.arlingtondiocese.org/ |title=Catholic Diocese of Arlington |website=arlingtondiocese.org |accessdate=2025-12-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://aleteia.org/2025/07/05/this-diocese-just-ordained-12-new-priests/ |title=This diocese just ordained 12 new priests! |website=Aleteia |accessdate=2025-12-20}}</ref> | |||
