The Ranchi Catholic Archdiocese (Latin: Archidioecesis Ranchiensis) with roots of activities tracing to more than 150 years currently comprises the districts of Ranchi and Lohardaga of Jharkhand state India. It was established by a decree of the Holy See dated 25 May 1927 when it was separated from the Calcutta Archdiocese to form a new Diocese with its Episcopal seat at Ranchi. In 1953 it was elevated to be an archdiocese.
