Welcome to the website of the Diocese of Dallas.  Established in 1890, the diocese has grown to be home to more than one million Roman Catholics. We are a vibrant faith community made up of nine counties in North Texas including Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Fannin, Grayson, Hunt, Kaufman, Navarro and Rockwall.
  
Bishop Kevin Farrell is the chief shepherd of the Diocese of Dallas and offers a special welcome to all who visit, “I sincerely hope this will be a useful tool in learning more about our Catholic faith and the ministries and services that we offer.  Pope John Paul II stated that ‘For the Church, the new world of cyberspace is a summons to the great adventure of using its potential to proclaim the Gospel message.’  I hope this website answers that call to evangelization.  May God bless all our visitors. We hope you find something here to bring you back again.”
