A Suffragan Bishop is a bishop in the Christian church who assists a diocesan bishop in their duties. This role is often found in larger dioceses where the workload is significant. Suffragan bishops help with pastoral care, administration, and other responsibilities, allowing the diocesan bishop to focus on broader leadership tasks. Suffragan bishops are typically appointed by the diocesan bishop and may have specific areas of focus or geographic regions within the diocese. They are part of the hierarchy of the church, which includes other roles such as diocesan bishops and archbishops, contributing to the overall governance and spiritual leadership of the church community.
