What is a Diocese?

"The Diocese" means any geographic area that has its own bishop ... but it also means "The Church" in that part of the world--bishop, priests and people (see map).

Diocesan ministries or apostolates are works that we all do TOGETHER—as individuals and parishes united with the bishop and with each other.

The Annual Diocesan Appeal helps greatly in doing TOGETHER what none of us could do alone.

We can do them together—as the Diocese, the Church of Grand Island.
