Is there an actual map of who is in what parish territory?

realized i didn’t ping you before.

look closely though those colors are symbolized by number of catholics per county. Parish(churches not geographical boundaries) are just marked by a point, not shown as an encompassing boundary.

searched, google yahoo and startpage, still cannot get that map to show in the results. I just copied your link.

Try doing the same thing I did. Google search for “diocese of charleston map” then I selected “images” from the top tabs. That showed me the map I posted, but try following the link to the actual webpage. There might be more information there (more detailed parish boundaries) or perhaps a different map or two.

I’ve been living in my current home for over a year now. I am between two parishes and have no idea which one I live in. The archdiocese’s website definitely doesn’t spell the boundaries out. I usually attend Mass at the cathedral downtown, but I decided it was time I figure out which parish I actually live in. I emailed one of the two near by parishes. Let’s see if the office knows…

I found mine pretty easily. Googled “parish map indianapolis archdiocese”.

You acquire a territorial parish by your residence*

In much of the US . . .

Then there are areas that were built with ethnic churches.

When I got to DuBois, PA, I was baffled. St. Catherine’s (which had the only school left) was a short block (even a stone throw) from St. Joseph’s (and shared priest), and two or three blocks from St. Michael’s.

Originally, St. Catherine’s was Irish, St. Joseph’s Lithuanian, and St. Michael’s Polish. (and for good measure, the Byzantine Church was on the next block from St. Michael’s).

Having been raised in the San Francisco Arch-Diocese, with the emphasis on not crossing parish lines for a single Mass without a solid reason, I was kind of baffled . . .
