Welcome to the Catholic Diocese of Gary

The Catholic Diocese of Gary is a community of believers that seeks to live as disciples of Jesus and share with others our faith in the Risen Lord.  God calls us to live in the life and love of the Blessed Trinity and to continue Jesus’ mission of building the Father’s kingdom of truth, peace, justice, and love in our racially and culturally diverse Northwest Indiana.

Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, God empowers us to share our time, talent, and treasure in serving people who are in need.  In our parishes, we share our treasured faith and Gospel values through our Catholic grade schools, religious education programs, youth ministry programs, and adult faith formation programs.  We have a variety of other ministries that assist those in need, including the Office of Hispanic Ministry, the Office of African American Ministry, the Office of Peace and Social Justice, and the many offices of Catholic Charities.

I invite you to explore our Web site.  We hope it will serve you as a valuable resource for information about the parishes, programs, and institutions in the Diocese of Gary and will be an opportunity for you to learn more about our Catholic faith.

Sincerely yours in the Lord Jesus,
Dale J. Melczek
Most Reverend Dale J. Melczek
Bishop of Gary
