Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Alba Iulia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Alba Iulia, Romania was established as the Diocese of Transylvania in 1009 and as the Diocese of Alba Iulia on 22 March 1932 before being raised to an archdiocese by Pope John Paul II on 5 August 1991.
The archdiocese covers Transylvania proper—the counties of Alba, Bistriţa-Năsăud, Braşov, Cluj, Covasna, Harghita, Hunedoara, Mureş, Sălaj and Sibiu, of which 11% are Roman Catholic, with concentrations in parts of Harghita and Covasna counties. Its adherents are predominantly Hungarian. It is directly subordinate to the Vatican. Its archbishop since 1994 has been György Jakubinyi.
