California Dioceses

California has numerous dioceses that oversee parishes, clergy, schools, and church operations across the state. Because dioceses manage priest assignments, maintain records, and respond to abuse allegations, identifying the correct diocese connected to a parish or priest is often an important step for survivors seeking information or accountability.

Below is a list of dioceses throughout California. Each diocese page provides information and resources to help survivors, families, and advocates learn more about the diocesan structure, reporting processes, and available legal and support resources related to clergy abuse cases.
