Catholic Church in Syria
The Catholic Church in Syria is part of the worldwide Catholic Church under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.
In 2020, there were 192,000 Catholics in Syria, approximately 1% of the total population. The Catholics of Syria belong to several churches of different rites/languages, mainly the Melkite, but also Armenian, Chaldean, Syriac, Maronite and the Latin Church. There are separate but overlapping jurisdictions for each church.
All the bishops are members of the 'national' Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries in Syria and of the regional Episcopal Conference for Arab countries. The Eastern Catholic bishops also belong to the synod of their patriarchate or other specific church.
Caritas Syria is the charity organisation of the Catholic Church of Syria.
