Welcome to the website of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Palm Beach!
One Nation Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All
At this time, we offer our prayers for our migrant brothers and sisters who may be experiencing fear and isolation. We offer our prayers for our nation in regard to true immigration reform. We offer prayers for our president and leaders within this nation to implement such reform. We offer prayers for unjust nations from which people are fleeing due to situations which are in need of reform. Prayer is always our greatest resource, and it is continually God’s grace that makes a difference.
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
Pope Francis remains in the hospital; the Vatican has not given an idea of how long he will be there. This story has been updated after the Vatican's evening medical bulletin.
Pope Francis writes to U.S. Bishops affirming their work on behalf of migrants and they respond.
Starting in 2006, Students for Life of America has become a formidable force in the pro-life movement, with 1,506 groups on college, high school and graduate campuses nationwide and more than 213,000 advocates trained to counter pro-abortion arguments.
Pope Francis, who was hospitalized in Rome Friday, is improving and asks people to continue their prayers for him.
