Summary/Abstract: In the second half of the 18th century, the Diocese of Arad consisted of a number of eleven archdioceses. Among them was the Chisinau-Cris Archdiocese, based in the homonymous town. For 200 years, the history of the Diocese of Arad has been marked at the level of all sectors, by this archdiocese. Although little known even locally, medallions of archpriests from 1919-1968 drawn in this study, capture people and celebrities who, through their work, managed to impress the upper forums. With a special activity in the missionary and cultural field, the six archpriests prove to be providential people, who kept the flame of faith and culture burning in difficult times such as: the interwar period, World War Il or the great challenge of the communist regime, which 20 years after its establishment, in 1968,abolished the mentioned archdiocese. The series of archpriests from Chisinau-Cris shows the importance of this archdiocese among the others of the Arad diocese, as well as the essential role played by the archdiocese, through its leaders, in key moments of church, cultural or national-political life.
