The Diocese of Salford |
The diocese of Salford is a Catholic diocese of the Latin Rite in the north-west of England. It is centred on the city of Salford, a large industrial centre that neighbours Manchester. The two cities lie at the southern end of the diocese, which stretches north into Lancashire, west towards Liverpool, south towards northern Cheshire, and east towards the Pennines.



A diocese is the local Church given to the care of a single Bishop. It is made up of a series of communities, called “parishes”. The current Bishop of Salford is the Right Reverend Terence John Brain.
