History

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The Archdiocese of Ravenna was a Roman Catholic diocese in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The diocese was elevated to an archdiocese in the 6th century.[1] Among its famous archbishops are Saint Peter Chrysologus, a Doctor of the Church, and Saint Guido Maria Conforti, who was canonized as a saint in 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI. The early medieval Ravenna papyri form an important record from the church's chancery between the 5th and 10th century.

The archdiocese of Ravenna-Cervia was created in 1947 through the merger of the Archdiocese of Ravenna and the Diocese of Cervia.[1] The archdiocese in 2014 had one priest for every 1,830 Catholics.
