It is directly dependent on the Armenian Catholic Patriarch of Cilicia, not part of his or any ecclesiastical province.
Its Cathedral episcopal see is a World Heritage Site: the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, Jerusalem.
Previously the area had the lower status of patriarchal vicariate within the Armenian Catholic Patriarch of Cilicia's proper archdiocese (based in Beirut).
