The Archdiocese of Cebu (more formally the Archdiocese of the Most Holy Name of Jesus in Cebu; Latin: Archidioecesis Nominis Iesu o Caebuana; Filipino: Arkidiyosesis ng Cebu; Cebuano: Arkidiyosesis sa Labing Balaan nga Ngalan ni Hesus sa Sugbo; Spanish: Arquidiocesis del Santisimo Nombre de Jesus de Cebu) is a Latin Church archdiocese of the Catholic Church in the Philippines and one of the ecclesiastical provinces of the Catholic Church in the country. It is composed of the entire civil province of Cebu (and the nearby islands of Mactan, Bantayan, and Camotes).[4][5][6][7][8] The jurisdiction, Cebu, is considered as the fount of Christianity in the Far East.[9]
The seat of the archdiocese is the Metropolitan Cathedral and Parish of St. Vitalis and of the Immaculate Conception, more commonly known as the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral. The archdiocese honors Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebú as its patroness, Vitalis of Milan as its patron and titular saint, and Pedro Calungsod (the second Filipino saint) as its secondary patron saint. The archbishop is José Serofia Palma, who was installed on January 13, 2011. As of 2013, the archdiocese registered a total of 4,609,590 baptized Catholics.[10]
