Welcome to the website of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Palm Beach!
We are a Nation of Thanksgiving
On Thanksgiving Day, when we celebrate Mass, the preface of the Eucharistic Prayer refers to our ancestors’ coming to “this land as if out of the desert into a place of promise and hope.”
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
