About Catholic Diocesan Chancery
The Catholic Diocese of Jefferson City serves 93 parishes and 17 missions across 22,127 square miles of northeastern and central Missouri, encompassing 38 counties including Columbia, Hannibal, and the state capital. Established in 1956 with the Immaculate Heart of Mary as its patroness, the Diocese represents a decidedly rural Catholic presence in the region. The Cathedral of Saint Joseph in Jefferson City serves as the mother church for this vibrant faith community. The Diocese actively engages its 100+ faith communities through stewardship, sacred music consultation, and comprehensive ministry programs. Parishes across the Diocese welcome visitors of all backgrounds—longtime parishioners, newcomers to the area, and those returning to the Church—to experience the beauty of the liturgy and the warmth of faith-filled parish family.
