Map of the church deaneries in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.

The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery (prosti; headed by a provost) in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches within each municipality elects their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipality may have one or more parishes (sokn) within the municipality. Each parish elects their own councils (soknerådet). Each parish has one or more local church. The number and size of the deaneries and parishes has changed over time.[1]

Bodø domprosti

edit

This arch-deanery (Norwegian: domprosti) is home to the Bodø Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. Bodø domprosti covers the five municipalities of Bodø, Gildeskål, Meløy, Røst, and Værøy. The deanery is headquartered at Bodø Cathedral in the town of Bodø in Bodø Municipality.

This deanery was established as Bodø prosti on 1 June 1901 when the old Søndre Salten prosti was divided into Bodø prosti (Bodø, Bodin, Kjerringøy, and Folda) and Søndre Salten prosti (Gildeskål, Beiarn, Skjerstad, and Saltdal).[2] The deanery was upgraded to an arch-deanery (Norwegian: domprosti) in 1952 when the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland was created.[3][2]
