The following is a list of bishops of the Catholic Church in the United States, including Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Marianas and Samoa.
The Catholic Church in the United States comprises:
176 Latin Church dioceses led by archbishops and bishops
18 Eastern Catholic eparchies led by eparchs
the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, for American military personnel, led by an archbishop the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter, a special diocese of Anglican converts to Catholicism.
Archbishops and bishops
The 176 Latin Church dioceses in the United States are divided into 33 ecclesiastical provinces. Each province has a metropolitan archdiocese led by an archbishop, and at least one suffragan diocese. Each suffragan diocese is led by a bishop. The Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA is the only American archdiocese that is not designated as a metropolitan archdiocese. The pope appoints all archbishops and bishops, who must be at least ordained priests. The pope chooses from a list of candidates provided by the papal nuncio of the United States to the Congregation of Bishops in Rome.
Most archdioceses and large dioceses have one or more auxiliary bishops, serving under the direction of the archbishop or bishop. The pope appoints all auxiliary bishops. Some archdioceses and dioceses have a coadjutor archbishop or coadjutor bishop. The coadjutor assists an elderly or ailing archbishop or bishop with their administrative duties. After the archbishop or bishop retires or dies, the coadjutor normally succeeds him without an appointment by the pope. The pope appoints all coadjutors.
In some rare cases, the pope will name a titular archbishop as the bishop of a suffragan diocese. The most recent example in the United States was that of Celestine Damiano, whom Pope John XXIII named as bishop of the Diocese of Camden in 1960.
There are several dioceses in the American inhabited territories:
In the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the archbishop and five bishops form their own episcopal conference, the Conferencia Episcopal Puertorriqueña. In the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, and Guam, the bishops belong to the Episcopal Conference of the Pacific.
All active and retired bishops and archbishops in the United States —diocesan, coadjutor, and auxiliary—are members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
