Roman Catholicism in Fiji


The Catholic Church in Fiji is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the canonical authority and and spiritual leadership of the Pope of Rome.

The whole of the country forms a single archdiocese, the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Suva, which has two (foreign) suffragan sees :

They all partake in the Episcopal Conference of the Pacific, as neither of these countries tiny episcopates warrants a national Episcopal Conference.

There are approximately 80,000 Catholics in Fiji, just under 10% of the total population. The 1996 census revealed just over 75 percent of Catholics to be indigenous Fijians and 5 percent Indo-Fijians, with minority communities making up the balance. The present leader of the Roman Catholic Church in Fiji is Archbishop Peter Loy Chong.
