The Catholic Church in the United States comprises ecclesiastical territories called dioceses, eparchies, and ordinariates led by prelate ordinaries known as bishops. Each bishop is assigned to a cathedral from which he is pastor to the people of his jurisdiction. Some dioceses also have a co-cathedral or a pro-cathedral. This is a complete list of the 193 cathedrals of the Latin Church and the 20 cathedrals of the Eastern Catholic Churches in the United States.[ citation needed ]
