Welcome to the website of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Palm Beach!
The Pope’s White Horse
“Then I saw the heavens opened, and there was a white horse. Its rider was called ‘Faithful and True.’” These words from Revelation 19:11 present the image of Christ on a white horse as He comes to judge the world at the end of time for the complete devastation of evil.
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
News & Notes
We join in fervent prayer for all those so adversely affected by the catastrophic hurricane, Melissa, in the Caribbean, which includes Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti... Financial assistance can be made directly to Catholic Relief Services.
As Hurricane Melissa continued its devastating course through the Caribbean, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, urged Catholics to pray for and support the people and communities impacted by one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record.
Students at Catholic schools throughout the Diocese of Palm Beach joined a worldwide drive to pray the rosary Oct. 7, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, and at other times during October, the month of the rosary.
Bishop Gerald M. Barbarito recently blessed the new athletic field at Saint John Paul II Academy, capping the first phase of capital improvements to sports facilities on the Boca Raton campus.
