Ecclesiastical province of Madrid, formed by the Archdiocese of Madrid and his dioceses of Getafe and Alcalá

The Ecclesiastical province of Madrid constitutes one of the 14 ecclesiastical provinces in Spain. It is constituted by the Archdiocese of Madrid and his two Dioceses: The Diocese of Alcalá and the Diocese of Getafe.

The archdiocese was supported by its archbishop, the Cardinal Angél Suquia Goicoechea. Each diocese happened to have its own bishop, being the first of the one of Alcalá Manuel Ureña Pastor and the first of Getafe Francisco José Pérez and Fernández-Golfín.

The current archbishop and bishops are: Carlos Osoro in the archdiocese, Juan Antonio Reig Pla in Alcalá and Joaquín María López de Ándujar y Cánovas del Castillo in Getafe.
