The Province and Archdiocese
The Province of Castries covers a great part of the Eastern Caribbean from St. Kitts in the north to Grenada in the South. Although the French speaking islands and Barbados are located within this area, they do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Castries. There are four suffragans under the Province of Castries . However, this web site focuses on the activities of the Archdiocese of Castries as other dioceses either have developed or will be setting up their own web pages. Photo shows the Chancery. |
