The diocesan Church of Altoona-Johnstown is the people of God located in the Allegheny Mountains of Central-Western Pennsylvania who follow the Roman Catholic Tradition in their practice of Christianity. While composed of many ethnic legacies, we strive to be the one household of God as the assembly of believers in the Lord.

As their Diocesan Bishop and spiritual shepherd, I welcome you to our website. It is our hope that your visits here will provide you with accurate information and be a source of encouragement on you own journey into the Lord's Kingdom.

(Most Rev.) Joseph V. Adamec
Bishop of Altoona-Johnstown

May the peace of God, which is beyond all understanding, keep your heart and mind in the knowledge and love of God and His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
