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.

The three civil parishes comprising the Diocese of Mandeville are not a tourist area. Bauxite mining is the main industry. Small farming would be the second largest source of income, consisting of vegetables, coffee, citrus fruits and spices. In addition, there are several small factories producing clothing, hemp, breads, canned foods or electrical equipment.


Infant of Prague 1-Day Novena

(This Novena is to be said at the same time every hour for
9 consecutive hours in 1 Day!)


O Jesus, Who hast said, "ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened to you"; through the intercession of Mary, Thy most Holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted.
(Make your Request)

O Jesus, Who hast said. "all that you ask of the Father in My Name, He will grant you"; through the intercession of Mary Thy Most Holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Thy Father in Thy Name that my prayer be granted.
(Make your Request)

O Jesus, Who hast said "Heaven and Earth shall pass away but my word shall not pass," through the intercession of Mary, Thy Most Holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted.
(Make your Request)

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the divine power, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
