The Diocese of Brooklyn is one of the largest dioceses in Catholic population, but it is also by far the smallest in area. The Diocese includes only two counties, both of which are on the western end of Long Island, and both of which are currently part of the city of New York. Those counties are Kings (which is coterminous with the former city of Brooklyn) and Queens. | The Diocese of Brooklyn is one of the largest dioceses in Catholic population, but it is also by far the smallest in area.
