The Diocese of Orlando was established on June 18, 1968, and is comprised of people dedicated together to the service of each other, the service of the worldwide Church and society at large. This is represented through 80 parishes and 11 missions, two basilicas, 36 schools, and hundreds of ministries. Led locally by our fifth Bishop, Most Reverend John Noonan, the clergy, consecrated women and men, and members of Christ’s faithful strive to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ by participating in the Sacraments, studying the Word of God, praying always and in all ways, teaching the faith and caring for those in need.
