A diocese is a community of believers in a particular place, living in unison with all other dioceses throughout the world, the visible center of unity being the pope. A bishop is the center of unity for the parishes within the diocese. The Diocese of Orlando was established on June 18, 1968 and is comprised of people dedicated together to the service of each other, the service of the worldwide Church and society at large. This presentation will cover the history of the Diocese of Orlando from its roots to today and beyond.
