The former French Catholic '''diocese of Saint-Omer''' existed from 1559<ref>[http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/ds543.html Saint-Omer (Diocese) [Catholic-Hierarchy&#93;<!-- Bot generated title -->]{{Self-published source|date=April 2017}}</ref> until the [[French Revolution]]. Its see at [[Saint-Omer]], in the modern department of [[Pas-de-Calais]], was created as a reaction to the destruction of the [[see of Thérouanne]], by military action in the wars of the [[Emperor Charles V]]. It then became a suffragan of the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cambrai|Archdiocese of Cambrai]] in 1559.
By the [[Concordat of 1801]], the diocese of [[Saint-Omer]] was united with the [[diocese of Arras]] and the [[diocese of Boulogne]], to form an enlarged diocese of Arras.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01752c.htm Catholic Encyclopedia: Arras<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
