Archbishop of Liverpool

The archdiocese covers an area of 1,165 km2 (450 sq mi) of the west of the County of Lancashire south of the Ribble, parts of Merseyside, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, and the Isle of Man.

The see is in the City of Liverpool, where the archbishop's cathedra or seat is located in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, which was dedicated on 14 May 1967.

[1] The current archbishop is Malcolm McMahon, who was appointed by Pope Francis on 21 March 2014[2] and enthroned at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral on 1 May 2014, the Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker, before a congregation of three thousand.

After the Reformation, the Roman Catholic hierarchy in England, Scotland, and Wales was abandoned and became under the authority of prefects and vicars apostolics.

The new Diocese of Liverpool comprised the hundreds of West Derby, Leyland, Amounderness and Lonsdale in Lancashire, plus the Isle of Man.
