UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The Diocese of Hamilton was established on February 29, 1856 by Pope Pius IX as a division of the Archdiocese of Toronto.  The first Bishop was the Right Reverend John Farrell; installed on May 24, 1856.

The Hamilton Diocese has grown to become the second largest English-speaking Roman Catholic Diocese in Canada, encompassing the Counties of Brant, Bruce, Grey, Halton, Waterloo, Wellington, and four Townships in the County of Dufferin.

There are currently 119 parishes in the Diocese, with the inspiring Christ the King Basilica, built in 1933, as the Cathedral. The Diocese of Hamilton has flourished through the leadership of its Bishops and the faith of its clergy, religious communities, and dedicated parishioners.

The Diocese is proud to celebrate its rich history and cultural diversity.

VOCATIONS

On behalf of Father Mark Morley, Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Hamilton, we would like to welcome all those who are discerning a vocation as a baptized member of the Catholic Church. Whether you are discerning a vocation to marriage, priesthood, permanent diaconate, consecrated virginity lived in the world, or consecrated life as a religious priest, brother or sister, the Vocations Office is here to support you. Our Young Adults Night held on the First Saturday of the month at various parishes throughout the Diocese is an opportunity to pray for vocations during a Holy Hour, meet others who are discerning God’s will for them, hear inspiring vocation testimonies, and join our vocations music ministry in praising God for our baptismal call to holiness through discipleship.

 

We invite you to explore your vocation possibilities by clicking on the applicable links below to resources focusing on priesthood, permanent diaconate, consecrated life and religious communities.
