The Archbishop of Quebec is the head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Quebec, responsible for looking after its spiritual and administrative needs.
As the archdiocese is the metropolitan see of the ecclesiastical province encompassing the north-central part of the Canadian province of Quebec, the Archbishop of Quebec also administers the bishops who head the suffragan dioceses of Chicoutimi, Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière, and Trois-Rivières. The archdiocese began as the Apostolic Vicariate of New France, which was created on April 11, 1658. François de Laval was appointed its first bishop, and under his reign, the Séminaire de Québec was established. Fifteen men have been Archbishop of Quebec; another ten were heads of its antecedent jurisdictions. Of these, seven were members of institutes of consecrated life or societies of apostolic life. The current archbishop is Cardinal Gérald Lacroix (pictured). (Full list...)
