Bishops are appointed by the Pope to administer geographic units called dioceses, which contain parishes, schools, service groups, and other organizations. Jesuit provincials are appointed by the Superior General in Rome to serve six-year terms. Provincials oversee geographic units called provinces. The California Province is composed of the states of Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah.
