Lentorama 2012: Know Your Diocese

Day 20: Diocese of Moosonee

You want to find a good way to operate under the radar as a diocese? Share a name with an Anglican diocese of the same name in a predominantly Protestant country. This diocese, which covers a chunk of Ontario, has just over 6,000 Catholics in it, and has almost no web presence. The best I could do is a Facebook page that mimics most of the same information found in Wikipedia, which borrows heavily from a site that lists vital information for all Catholic diocese.

On the plus side, the Catholic website gives a phone number and tells us that the diocese's Catholic Directory abbreviation is "Moo." I am willing to bet there are more cows than Catholics in this diocese. Most of them are probably Anglicans, too.
