The Roman Catholic Diocese of Madison, serving Southern Wisconsin, is building mission-driven communities of faith to share the life-changing good news of Jesus Christ. From the confluence of the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers in the beautiful Driftless Area to the rolling glacial plains, bluffs, and lakes surrounding our state capital region, we’re blessed with a rich blend of rural communities and vibrant cities, each shaped by our longstanding Catholic heritage.
With 132 churches, 34 parochial schools, and countless ministries across Southern Wisconsin, the Diocese of Madison offers both a deep sense of community and an exceptional quality of life. We are a community of committed followers of Christ, forming the next generation of missionary disciples for the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls.
