The

St. Kitts, and St. Martin/St. Maarten. The diocesan cathedral is the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, St John's Cathedral, located on upper Newgate Street in the capital city of St John, Antigua.[3]

Originally, the diocese was under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbury until 1883, when the Province of the West Indies was created. As such, it was the Established Church in all British overseas territories within the Caribbean region, and therefore was primarily supported by public funds until disestablishment in 1969. The diocese remains a constituent diocese within the Anglican Province of the West Indies, which remains a constituent province within the worldwide Anglican Communion.
