An archdiocese is the area under the jurisdiction of an archbishop. For example the Archdiocese of Boston is the city and surrounding area that is headed by the Archbishop of Boston. A smaller archdiocese is sometimes called an archbishopric. Likewise a diocese is the area under the jurisdiction of a bishop, and a patriarchate is the area under the jurisdiction of a patriarch, such as the Patriarch of Jerusalem, and so on.
