History
Nineteen counties in northwestern Ohio in the United States make up the territory of the Diocese of Toledo (in America) (Latin: Dioecesis Toletana in America), a Latin Church diocese suffragan to the metropolitan Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Toledo is the See city, and Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral serves as the diocese's mother church. Daniel Thomas is the eighth and current bishop.
What is kept by invitation
The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.
The working record is not. The chancery's address, telephone and email, the clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
