High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Metropolitan Archdiocese of Tuam (Irish: Ard-Deoise an Tuaim) is a Roman Catholic archdiocese in western Ireland. According to tradition, the "Diocese of Tuam" was established in the sixth century by St. Jarlath. It was promoted to the status of a Metropolitan Province in 1152 by the Synod of Kells. Stretching from Achill Island to Moore parish on the River Shannon, a distance of 193 km (120 mi), it is the largest in the country. Geographically split north/south by the two lakes, Loughs Mask and Corrib, Tuam has pastoral charge of the largest Gaeltacht area in the country and of six island parishes. It also contains the major pilgrimage centres of Knock Shrine and Croagh Patrick.
