The Diocese of Peterborough has 348 parishes and 379 churches covering Northamptonshire, the northern part of Peterborough and the county of Rutland. Peterborough Cathedral is our mother church. With around 200 clergy and a similar number of lay ministers, we serve a population of just under a million people.
Our worshipping community consists of over 20,000 people of all ages and backgrounds and around 12,000 people attend a service each Sunday. Almost 20,000 4-18 year olds attend over 100 church schools in the diocese.
Peterborough Diocese was founded in 1541. Donald Allister was installed as the 38th Bishop of Peterborough in April 2010. He is assisted by our suffragan or assistant bishop, John Holbrook (known as Bishop of Brixworth) since 2011. |
