Welcome to the website of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Palm Beach!

The Journey of Hope

It was obvious that, in accord with the theme for the Holy Year, Pilgrims of Hope, all those present were on a journey. God created us and placed us in this world to make a journey to Him. We come into this world as infants, and grow through all of the stages of life, as on a journey, until we are taken into the fullness of life with God. That journey that we take is meant to be a happy one, even though we may face many difficulties, disappointments, sufferings and setbacks in life.

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
