Interactive Deanery Map
As a reference, we have created a map on Google Maps listing all worshiping communities in our diocese. They are also color coded according to deanery. If you download the
Google Maps
app on your phone, you can open the map there in addition to opening it in your browser.
Not only is this a quick way to see which parishes are a part of what deanery, but it also allows you to get directions to each parish, should you need them. Click
