A WORD FROM BISHOP J. MARK SPALDING
My dear people,
Welcome to the Diocese of Nashville, a diocese that serves 126,000+ faithful Catholics of Middle Tennessee with its 61 churches, 16 Catholic schools, 109 priests, and dozens of ministries.
Although our diocese has many parts, we are one body in Christ. We are called to live our faith, and when we come together as one, it reminds us who we are in Christ and our ultimate destiny of eternal life with Him.
So many times throughout the year, we have the opportunity to come together as one body in Christ. Every Sunday we are called to witness the celebration of the Mass in both Word and Sacrament. I invite you to visit one of the 61 churches across Middle Tennessee and join us in that glorious celebration every Sunday as we gather around the table of the Lamb.
We are better as a people when we are together.
