The Russian Orthodox Church is organized in a hierarchical structure. Each church and its attendees constitute a parish ("prikhod"). All parishes in a geographical region belong to an eparchy ("eparkhiya"—equivalent to a Western diocese). Eparchies are governed by bishops ("episkope" or "archierey"). There are around 130 Russian Orthodox eparchies worldwide. As of February 2, 2010, the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) has 160 dioceses including 30,142 parishes served by 207 bishops, 28,434 priests and 3,625 deacons. There are 788 monasteries, including 386 for men and 402 for women.
