About Us

 

Gulf Coast Catholic was created by the Diocese of St. Petersburg to serve Tampa Bay, the Suncoast and the Nature Coast. Our goal is to help all of us to grow in relationship with Jesus, and to become better connected with each other and especially with the Church as the body of Christ. We provide articles that help you share your faith with others who may be inspired to grow in their relationships with the Lord. Bishop Gregory Parkes is the publisher and Teresa Peterson is the Content Manager. You can reach us at communicate@dosp.org.

This ministry is supported through gifts to the Catholic Ministry Appeal.
