Keep connected with the Catholic Diocese of Parramatta. http://www.parra.catholic.org.au/
The Catholic Diocese of Parramatta was created by Pope John Paul II on 8 April 1986 but most parishes are much older: Parramatta parish was established in 1827, Windsor in 1832 and Penrith in 1839.
Today, the Diocese is home to around 330,000 Catholics in one of the fastest-growing areas of New South Wales, Australia. A Suffragan Diocese of the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney, the Diocese of Parramatta is west of Sydney and covers 4,289 sq km, reaching from Dundas Valley, west to Katoomba, south to Luddenham, and north to Richmond.
The Diocese is made up of 49 parishes. More than 45,000 students attend one of the 83 Catholic schools in the Diocese.
