Welcome to the website of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Palm Beach!
Hope Does Not Disappoint
Hope is a virtue we may not think about too often but one by which we live our lives each day. Hope is much deeper than simply persevering through difficult times. It is, as defined by The Catechism of the Catholic Church, “the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in God’s promises and relying not on our strength, but on the grace of the Holy Spirit.”
Whether you are searching for information about the diocese, parishes, and schools or about the Roman Catholic Church in general, I hope that our diocesan website will be of help to you.
The Diocese of Palm Beach is comprised of five counties in Southeastern Florida: Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee. From Sebastian to Boca Raton and from Palm Beach to Pahokee, the 241,100 Catholics of the Diocese of Palm Beach span the economic and cultural spectrum of the area and contribute to a vibrant faith experience in our 50 parishes, 3 missions, and 1 Hispanic Pastoral Center.
Whether you are a full-time resident, a part-time winter resident, or a tourist visiting our area, I pray that you will enjoy your time in the Diocese of Palm Beach, and as you tour our website.
May Mary, Our Lady Queen of the Apostles, patroness of the diocese, guide us in the footsteps of her Son, Jesus Christ.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Gerald M. Barbarito
Bishop of Palm Beach
News & Notes
On the last Sunday of each liturgical year, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, or Christ the King.
We are grateful for each and every one of our generous Lumen Christi Schools Appeal Sponsors, thank you!
Time is running out for parishioners to contribute to the 2024 Diocesan Services Appeal, which funds local ministries that protect the most vulnerable in our communities. Dec. 31, 2024, will be the final day to make a difference this year in your parish and Diocese of Palm Beach.
