A Place
for Everyone
With 57 churches, 5 centers and 35 schools within our diocese, we have a seat for you.
Our vibrant community of 1.3 million Catholics is on a journey of faith together – growing closer to God and another as we explore, experience, and share the mystery of Christ. Under the leadership of Bishop Kevin W. Vann, the OC Diocese works to establish and support dynamic, vibrant parishes and schools welcoming all to live the Gospel with faith, joy, charity and unity. We joyfully welcome you as part of this journey!

Featured Podcast: The Role of a Vicar General
On this week’s show, we are thrilled to welcome the new vicar general of the Diocese of Orange, Fr. Angelos Sebastian.
In addition to this role, Fr. Angelos continues to serve as pastor at St. Kilian in Mission Viejo. These are two very big hats to wear! Rick will ask Fr. Angelos how he is able to navigate these roles with his abundant faith-filled energy and, always with a smile!
