What ministries are there for priests in the diocese of Jefferson City?
Almost every priest in the diocese has some sort of parish assignment. Exceptions to this include the full time vocation director and 2 hospital chaplains. However, all three of them do weekend duties at parishes. 28 parishes are stand alone parishes meaning they are not clustered with another parish. 82 parishes are clustered together with other parishes. 37 of our parishes have grade schools. We are a rural diocese with much farmland and agricultural industry. The big towns in our diocese (hardly considered urban) are Columbia and Jefferson City, the state capitol. The Lake of the Ozarks, a tourist destination is also in the boundaries of the diocese.
