About The Catholic Diocese of East Anglia
The diocese is part of the worldwide Catholic Church covering Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, part of the Province of Westminster. It is made up of 52 parishes which provide liturgical, spiritual, social action and pastoral services to its parishioners and everyone who wishes to engage with them. The Cathedral church of the diocese is St John the Baptist in Norwich and the diocese is also home to England’s National Catholic Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. The diocese provides a Catholic education through 26 schools across East Anglia. In its current representation the diocese was formed in 1976 by a decree of Pope Paul VI, and in that time has had four bishops, the current one being Bishop Peter Collins, residing at Poringland, where the small central curia staff team are also based. The charitable purpose is the advancement of the Catholic faith within the diocese and for the service and support of charitable works and objects promoted by the Catholic Church. The diocese provides for the religious needs of the Catholic population in East Anglia and plays a full role in participating with other churches, faiths and public organisations in promoting an ethos and attitude among the general population, designed to encourage and develop mutual cooperation, social cohesion and dialogue for the benefit of the community as a whole and in particular the poor and most vulnerable.
