Catholic Diocese of Wagga Wagga

About

Located within Wiradjuri country in the Riverina and Yorta Yorta country in the southwestern district of New South Wales, the Diocese of Wagga Wagga stretches from Khancoban in the east to Griffith and Yenda in the west. Populated with both large and small towns, it is home to some of Australia’s richest and most picturesque countryside. The Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers are significant geographical features of the area with the eastern border of the Diocese lying in the mountainous regions of the Great Dividing Range. Established in 1917, the Diocese of Wagga Wagga has a rich faith tradition; our faith communities are nourished and sustained by the sacramental life of the church administered and accessed through 31 parishes, 29 schools – 24 primary and 5 secondary, and support services offered by Centacare throughout the diocese.
