LEADERSHIP & REFERENCE

Saint Mary of the Annunciation was established as the first parish of the Diocese of Charleston in 1820, under the leadership of its first bishop, the Right Reverend John England. Since then, new dioceses have been formed from the original territory: Savannah, Raleigh, Atlanta, and Charlotte. Today, the Diocese of Charleston encompasses the entire state of South Carolina.
Visit the Diocese of Charleston for information about the diocese and its parishes, to read statements and other writings from the bishop, and to find upcoming diocesan events. The Catholic Miscellany, the first Catholic publication in the United States, is the diocesan newspaper. |

The USCCB is an assembly of the hierarchy of the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands who jointly exercise certain pastoral functions on behalf of the Christian faithful of the United States.
