Most Reverend Martin W. Currie

Bishop of Grand Falls

Welcome to the website of the Diocese of Grand Falls.  The Diocese of Grand Falls covers approximately 49,000 square kilometres, almost half of the territory of the island of Newfoundland.  It extends from Bay de Verde in the east to Baie Verte in the west covering all of the northeast coast and central Newfoundland and including the south coast communities from Rencontre East to Gaultois.

    The province of Newfoundland and Labrador, made up of the island and the larger mainland territory of Labrador, is Canada's tenth province.

    Our diocese consists of thirty parishes, many of which include more than one church where Mass is celebrated on Sunday.  Twenty-four parishes are along the extensive and rugged sea coastline, while six are inland parishes.  Our diocese was originally known as the Diocese of Harbour Grace, then the Diocese of Harbour Grace-Grand Falls.  In 1964, it became the Diocese of Grand Falls.

    The Diocese of Grand Falls serves the People of God in central and eastern Newfoundland with joy and enthusiasm.  As you browse through our website, it is our hope that you find this energy and joy reflected therein.
