Parishes
The Diocese of the Midwest's Centralized Communication Hub
The purpose of Our Diocese™ is meant to facilitate parish growth and in-person interaction. In addition to posts and messages on a parish group level, Our Diocese™ enables interaction between parishioners and clergy all over the diocese, regardless of whether they prefer to use the website or a mobile app. Campers can join and connect with their friends between summers. Clergy can reach out to other clergy with questions and support. Faithful can find others with similar interests and not have to reinvent the wheel at their own parish when starting a new ministry.
Listing of All Parishes
The parishes of the Diocese of the Midwest are geographically grouped into deaneries. Each deanery is directed by a priest who reports directly to the Bishop and for whom he may act as an administrative liaison.
For more information about the deans or to find a local dean, see the Administration page here.
A listing of diocesan clergy, along with their parish affiliation and contact information, may be found on the OCA website here »

Health & Development
Attendance and tithes notwithstanding, how can parish health be determined? What does a successful parish look like? What is the proper balance between services, outreach, and community social life?
The diocese has put many hours into exploring questions like these and creating resources to develop not only growing parishes but ones with a missionary outlook.
Missions
Did you know the diocese has nine flourishing missions, and nine active chapel communities? We are always working on ways to plant and support new missions wherever the need is identified.
Participating in and supporting nearby missions is a wonderful way to enliven your own parish community. Which mission is the closest one to you?
