The Roman Catholic Diocese of Ratnapura (Lat: Dioecesis Ratnapurensis) is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in Sri Lanka. Erected as the Diocese of Ratnapura in 1995, from territory in the Diocese of Galle, the diocese is suffragan to the Archdiocese of Colombo. The current bishop is Cletus Chandrasiri Perera, appointed in 2007. A diocese is the district or see under the supervision of a bishop, it is divided into parishes. An archdiocese is more significant than a diocese. An archdiocese is presided over by an archbishop whose see may have or had importance due to size or historical significance. The archbishop may have metropolitan authority over any other (then 'suffragan') bishops and their dioceses within his archdiocese.
