Welcome to the website of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Palm Beach!
The Land of Lincoln and the Land of Leo
There is a continued need with our nation to protect the dignity and right to life of every human person from the moment of natural conception in a mother’s womb until natural death. There still are many signs of racism, violence and hatred, which threaten the principles for the founding of our nation for which the Civil War was fought.
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
