    Places
    The Diocese of Jackson is made up of all the parishes, missions, schools, service centers and Catholic Charities ministries throughout about two-thirds of the state. Each parish, school and mission operates as a separate ministry, but all are united by the work of Bishop Joseph Kopacz at the Cathedral of St. Peter the Apostle and by the work of the chancery staff. Bishop Kopacz leads the diocese spiritually from the “Cathedra” or “Chair” in the cathedral, but in practical matters, he works from the chancery office. You might call it our headquarters. The Chancery is located in downtown Jackson, adjacent to the Cathedral of St. Peter the Apostle.

      Cathedral of St. Peter the Apostle (Jackson)

While the cathdral is the bishop’s home church, it has a rector who acts as pastor to the local congregation.
