The Ethiopian Catholic Church

The Ethiopian Catholic Church (ECC), the Universal Church’s presence in this country, acts through Evangelization and promotion. The central governing body of the Catholic Church consists of His Holiness as the Supreme Pontiff, assisted by the College of Cardinals, the Secretariat of State, various Congregations, Pontifical councils, Pontifical commissions, and other offices.

The Patriarchs, Archbishops, Bishops, Apostolic Vicars, Apostolic Prefects, and certain Abbots and other prelates, together with His Holiness, form the larger form of governing body of the Catholic Church.
