NRCDT

Who we are

The NRCDT (Nottingham Roman Catholic Diocese Trustees) is a charity covering all the parishes in the Diocese of Nottingham. 

The Diocese of Nottingham covers a large geographical area including Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, most of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire and parts of Cheshire and Staffordshire, making it the largest in the country. It is varied in its demography as it encompasses one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the country, Leicester, and some of the most rural territory, Lincolnshire, with its villages and market towns. Consequently, the people of the diocese come from all backgrounds imaginable, giving the diocese a rich and varied life.

We are led by Bishop Patrick McKinney and have 122 priests and 57 deacons, including those who are in active ministry, retired, working here or elsewhere. They serve 107 parishes and 87 primary and secondary schools. Over any given weekend, there are approximately 30,000 people attending Mass in the diocese.
