View

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando serves central Florida’s Catholic community by overseeing 79 parishes, 12 missions, two basilicas, and 37 schools. Its activities center on religious services, Catholic education, and community ministries, all supported by donations, tuition from its schools, and fundraising—typical for a nonprofit faith organization. The diocese coordinates worship, youth and adult education, and charitable programs across its network of parishes and schools, rather than selling a product. Its goal is to nurture faith, provide education, and serve people in need throughout the region through its religious and educational programs.
