A church directory lists church officials, dioceses, and parishes. These directories are useful because:

  • They list of all the parishes in a diocese, so you can determine if your ancestor’s village had a parish church. Many directories list all villages belonging to a parish.
  • They sometimes provide the earliest dates of existing parish records.
  • They may include historical information about each parish.
  • They may group parishes by parishes (curatos) or vicarages ( vicarías) and deaneries (decanatos).
  • Directories beginning in 1969 provide the complete address of each parish, diocese headquarters, and diocese archives where additional records may be kept. The 1993 directory also includes the phone and fax numbers of the parishes.

Church directories exist for the Archdiocese of Lima for 1911–13, 1916, 1918, 1935, and 1937. For Peru, there are directories for 1947, 1949, 1951, 1954, 1959, 1964, 1969, 1974, and 1993. The FamilySearch Library has copies of directories for 1949, 1969, 1974, and 1993:

  • Anuario eclesiástico del Perú 1949 (Ecclesiastical Yearbook of Peru). Lima: Impr. Santa María, 1949. (FS Library book 985 K24i 1949.)
  • Anuario eclesiástico del Perú 1969 (Ecclesiastical Yearbook of Peru). Lima: Secretariado del Episcopado Nacional, 1969. (FS Library book 985 K24i 1969.)
  • Anuario eclesiástico del Perú (Ecclesiastical Yearbook of Peru). Lima: Secretariado del Episcopado Peruano, 1974. (FS Library book 985 K24i, fiche 6030554.)
  • Directorio eclesiástico del Perú, 1993 (Ecclesiastical Directory of Peru). Lima: Conferencia Episcopal Peruana, 1993. (FS Library book numbers 985 K24d.)
  • Rodríguez, Jesus Jordán. Pueblos y parroquias de el Perú. Lima: Imprenta Pasaje Piura, 1950. (FS Library book number 958K24r; film number 1162495, item 4.)
