History
In the western Central African Republic, Berbérati serves as the Metropolitan See of its own ecclesiastical province; the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Berbérati (Latin: Berberaten(sis)) nonetheless remains under the authority of the missionary Roman Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. The episcopal see is the cathedral in Berbérati, in the Mambéré-Kadéï Prefecture (southwest, formerly Haute-Sangha), a city that also keeps a former cathedral dedicated to Saint Anna.
