Catholic Church in French Guiana
Template:Short description The Catholic Church in French Guiana is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.
Around 75% of the population is Catholic and the dependency forms a single diocese - the Diocese of Cayenne.
Erected as the apostolic prefecture of French Guiana-Cayenne in 1651, it remained a prefecture until elevated to a Vicariate in January 1933, and finally to the Diocese of Cayenne in February 1956.[1] The Diocese is currently a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Fort-de-France et Saint-Pierre[2] on the island of Martinique. The current bishop is Alain Ransay, appointed on December 10th, 2021.[1]
