The Roman Catholic Church in the Bahamas is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope and curia in Rome. Columbus landed on one of the islands of the Bahamas in 1492, where the first Mass was celebrated in the New World. The Catholic Church became organized in the Bahamas in the mid-19th century, and in the second part of the century US influence became even more important, so that in 1885 the islands — considered as part of the US diocese of Charleston since 1866 — were formally included in the Archdiocese of New York. This "American connection" lasted until 1931, when the islands were erected into a separate Apostolic Prefecture, which was elevated to the rank of Apostolic Vicariate in 1941.
