Welcome to the website of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Palm Beach!
One in Mind, Words and Heart
Whenever we profess our faith, it is important to realize that we are articulating truth that we believe. We do so, as formulated by the Council of Nicaea, in a formal manner. This articulation of truth is always one that corresponds to our mind as an affirmation of faith.
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
