Welcome to the website of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Palm Beach!
Understanding, Love and Mercy are Integral to Justice
God became one of us in a justice that comprises mercy and compassion as the model as to how we are to live. The master becomes the servant and calls us all friends. This is what our world needs more than anything else today...
Whether you are searching for information about the diocese, parishes, and schools or about the Roman Catholic Church, I hope our diocesan website will help you.
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, 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
