Diocese of Getafe


The Diocese of Getafe is a Latin ecclesiastical territory of the Catholic Church in Spain, part of the ecclesiastical province of the Archdiocese of Madrid. The seat is in the city of Getafe, in the Getafe Cathedral.
It was established on 23 July 1991, from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Madrid.
On 24 February 1998, Pope [John Paul II] issued the papal bull titled "A clero" declaring the Blessed Virgin Mary as "Our Lady of the Angels" as the patroness of the diocese, which has been a prominent devotion in the municipality and diocese since the 17th century. Her image was later honored with a canonical coronation by the same pope on 19 May 2002.
