The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Košice ( _sk. Košická arcidiecéza, _la. Archidioecesis Cassoviensis) is a Roman Catholic archdiocese in eastern Slovakia, with its seat in Košice. It covers central and eastern parts of the Prešov and Košice regions, with an area of 10,403 km². On that area, there was a population of around 1,118,000 people, of which around 60% were of Catholic faith (2004). The current archbishop is Alojz Tkáč.
History
It was first created in 1804 under name Diocese of Košice as a suffragan to the Archdiocese of Eger. In 1977, the metropolitan was changed to the newly-established ecclesiastical province of Trnava. On 31 March 1995, a new ecclesiastical province was created, changing the status of the diocese into archdiocese with the suffragans of Spiš and Rožňava.
