Our diocese occupies 980,000 square Kilometres, most of the state of South Australia , and going up to and including Uluru (Ayers Rock).

We have 58 churches and thirteen schools faith and learning centres across the diocese.

There are three Homes for the aged and infirm, and Centacare – Catholic Social Services – operates out of several venues across the state.

Our diocese embraces the tourist, fishing and whale watching areas in the south, great areas of grain crops, the beauty of the Flinders Ranges, the desert of the north west, sheep and cattle country in the north east, the Riverland along the Murray with its orchards and vines, the mining industry for iron and uranium and coal, traditional communities of Aboriginal people, the first Australians, and the majesty of Uluru.  

The diocese was established independent of the Southern ( Adelaide ) diocese in 1887.

Port Pirie is the administrative centre of the Diocese, and Bishop Greg O’Kelly SJ is our eleventh Bishop.
