⭐ Core Definition: Diocese of Chambéry

The Archdiocese of Chambéry, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, and Tarentaise (Latin: Archidioecesis Camberiensis, Maruianensis et Tarantasiensis; French: Archidiocèse de Chambéry, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne et Tarentaise) is a complex of three jurisdictions of the Catholic Church in France that have, since 1966, been united in the person of a single prelate who is titled Archbishop of Chambéry, Bishop of Maurienne, and Bishop of Tarentaise. All three are suffragans of the Archdiocese of Lyon. The archepiscopal see of Chambéry is Chambéry Cathedral. The complex encompasses the department of Savoie, in the Region of Rhône-Alpes.

Though sometimes referred to as a single archdiocese, the three jurisdictions are distinct, and the prelate appointed as their head is installed in each in a separate ceremony.

The Diocese of Geneva was a Latin Church ecclesiastical jurisdiction or diocese in part of Switzerland and Savoy from 400 to 1801, when it merged with the Diocese of Chambéry. The merged diocese was later broken up, due to changes in national boundaries. The diocese of Chambéry lost Swiss territory to the Diocese of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg.
