SPICMA - East Anglia
For over 50 years SPICMA has been working through missionary and diocesan
clergy to help the poorest and most marginalized in the developing world. We fund
small capital projects and provide emergency aid to communities which have little
prospect of finding support elsewhere. We are entirely voluntary - no wages are paid
to anyone at SPICMA so more of each donation will go to where it is intended

SPICMA - England and Wales
SPICMA is an all-voluntary charity which reaches out to the poorest and most marginalized in the developing world. Working through the missionary Church, help is focused on those projects which would struggle to catch the eye of the larger charities. It provides relief aid and supports small developmental projects, such as the construction of boreholes, toilet blocks and classrooms. SPICMA was established in 1967.

SPICMA - Arundel & Brighton
For 50 years SPICMA has been reaching out to the poorest and most
marginalized in the developing world. Small communities often lack the means
of approaching the larger charities or their needs are too small for
consideration by them. SPICMA has focused its work through missionary
congregations and diocesan clergy, helping tens of thousands with
development grants and emergency aid. This builds up the capacity of the
local church

An episcopal conference, sometimes called a conference of bishops, is an official assembly of the bishops of the Catholic Church in a given territory. ... Individual bishops do not relinquish their immediate authority for the governance of their respective dioceses to the conference (Wikipedia).
Dioceses ruled by an archbishop are commonly referred to as archdioceses; most are metropolitan sees, being placed at the head of an ecclesiastical province. A few are suffragans of a metropolitan see or are directly subject to the Holy See.
The term 'archdiocese' is not found in Canon Law, with the terms 'diocese' and 'episcopal see' being applicable to the area under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of any bishop.[8] If the title of archbishop is granted on personal grounds to a diocesan bishop, his diocese does not thereby become an archdiocese (Wikipedia).
The group of churches that a bishop supervises is known as a diocese. Typically, a diocese is divided into parishes that are each overseen by a priest.
The original dioceses, in ancient Rome, were political rather than religious. Rome was divided into dioceses, each of which was made up of many provinces. After Christianity became the Roman Empire's official religion in the 4th century, the term gradually came to refer to religious districts. The Catholic Church has almost 3,000 dioceses. The Greek root of diocese is dioikesis, 'government, administration, or province.' (Vocabulary.com).
As of April 2020, in the Catholic Church there are 2,898 regular dioceses: 1 papal see, 649 archdioceses (including 9 patriarchates, 4 major archdioceses, 560 metropolitan archdioceses, 76 single archdioceses) (Wikipedia).
A subdivision of a diocese, consisting of a number parishes, over which presides a dean appointed by a bishop. The duty of the dean is to watch over the clergy of the deanery, to see that they fulfill the orders of the bishop, and observe the liturgical and canon laws. He summons the conference of the deanery and presides at it. Periodically he makes a report to the bishop on conditions in the deanery.www.catholicculture.org
In the Roman Catholic Church, a parish (Latin: parochia) is a stable community of the faithful within a particular church, whose pastoral care has been entrusted to a parish priest (Latin: parochus), under the authority of the diocesan bishop. It is the lowest ecclesiastical subdivision in the Catholic episcopal polity, and the primary constituent unit of a diocese. In the 1983 Code of Canon Law, parishes are constituted under cc. 515-552, entitled 'Parishes, Pastors, and Parochial Vicars.' Wikipedia
