Home
Our home is located in the Riverina and south western district of New South Wales. The Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers are significant geographical features of our area - the diocese - and on our eastern border lie the mountainous regions of the Great Dividing Range.
Established in 1917, the Diocese of Wagga Wagga has a rich faith tradition; our faith communities are nourished and sustained by the sacramental life of the church administered and accessed through 31 parishes.
If you are seeking help, you can call on the diocesan agencies that offer material assistance, spiritual direction and family counselling. Crisis support is available - you can go straight to the crisis page from here.
Having welcomed you at the door we now invite you to come in!
