The Diocese of Gaylord is one of seven Roman Catholic

Dioceses in the state of Michigan. The Diocese of Gaylord

was established on July 20, 1971 by His Holiness Pope Paul

VI.

Saint Mary Parish in Gaylord, which had been established

in 1883 as a tiny church for immigrants and lumbermen,

became the cathedral in the smallest See City in the

United States.

With the creation of a new diocese and a growing

population, a new cathedral was constructed to serve the

parishioners of Saint Mary Parish and the Diocese of Gaylord. The

groundbreaking for the new cathedral took place in 1975, and the

contemporary $1.6 million cathedral was dedicated on July 25, 1976.

The 11,171 square miles of the diocese is comprised of territory which had

previously been a part of the dioceses of Saginaw and Grand Rapids. The area

includes the 21 most northern counties of Michigan's lower peninsula, which

are mostly rural in nature. Total population of the area exceeds 510,532, of

which more than 44,000 are Catholic.

Within the diocese’s boundaries today, there are 75 parishes, 17 Catholic

schools and many closely related institutions. All of our clergy, religious sisters

and brothers, and laity have been

called through Baptism to be disciples

and to reflect the message of the

Gospel.

Together, we reflect on the past with

thanksgiving, and we look to the future

with confident hope.
