Welcome to the Diocese of Shrewsbury
which continues the mission of the Catholic
Church across Cheshire and Shropshire and
parts of Greater Manchester, Merseyside
and Derbyshire.
More than a hundred parishes and schools
together with more than thirty Religious
communities and ecclesial movements continue
this mission today.
I hope this developing website will reflect something of the life of the
Diocese with its great diversity of towns, cities and rural communities
sharing together the Catholic faith.
We welcome you to join us here on the internet.
