The Catholic Church of Mandeville
On the feast of Our Lady of Holy Hope, July 9, 1991, the Apostolic Vicariate of Mandeville was established and Bishop Paul Michael Boyle, C.P. was ordained bishop, as the first Apostolic Vicar. In November, 1997, the Vicariate was raised to the status of a diocese with Bishop Boyle appointed to head the new diocese. The diocese is located in south central Jamaica and includes the three civil jurisdictions (called parishes) of Clarendon, Manchester and St. Elizabeth. The Diocese covers about 1,300 square miles, with a half million population. Catholics constitute 1.4% of this number or 7,000, although there are indications that others were baptized as Catholics, but, due to the lack of priests, joined other churches. This proportion of Catholics is very low; however, the two thousand seven hundred Catholics (2,700) or forty-one percent (41%) who regularly practice their faith offer a solid basis for gratitude and hope. |
