Catholic Church in Slovakia

St. Martin's Cathedral, Bratislava

The Catholic Church in Slovakia is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.

According to the 2021 census, around 55.8%[1][2] of the total population was Latin (Roman) Catholic and another 3.8% is Greek Catholic. The country is divided into 8 Latin dioceses including 3 archdioceses, and there is also a separate Metropolitan jurisdiction for those of the Byzantine Rite, see Slovak Greek Catholic Church.

In 2020, there were over 3,000 priests and almost 2,000 nuns serving across more than 1,500 parishes.[3]

By taking the percentage of the current practitioners of the Vatican City-led Catholic Christianity as an indicator, Slovakia (59.8% practicing Catholics) is third most Catholic-majority Slavic polity in Europe after Poland (71.3% practicing Catholics) and Croatia (79.0% practicing Catholics).
