The Diocese of Charleston was erected on 11 July 1820 by Pope Pius VII, separating the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia from the Archdiocese of Baltimore.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dchas.html |title=Diocese of Charleston |website=Catholic-Hierarchy.org |accessdate=2025-12-28}}</ref> The first bishop, John England, arrived in December 1820 and began organizing the fledgling Catholic community in a predominantly Protestant region.

== History ==
The diocese originally encompassed three states but was reduced to South Carolina alone by the erection of the Diocese of Savannah in 1850 and the Vicariate Apostolic of North Carolina in 1868.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dchas.html |title=Diocese of Charleston |website=Catholic-Hierarchy.org |accessdate=2025-12-28}}</ref> Key events include the destruction of the original cathedral in the 1861 Charleston fire during the Civil War and its rebuilding as the current Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, dedicated in 1907. The diocese has experienced significant growth in recent decades, with a surge in vocations and registered parishioners.
