TheDiocese of Middlesbrough (Latin:Dioecesis Medioburgensis) is aLatindiocese of theCatholic Church based inMiddlesbrough,England and is part of theprovince ofLiverpool. It was founded on 20 December 1878, with the splitting of theDiocese of Beverley which had covered all ofYorkshire. The Bishop's See is inCoulby Newham, Middlesbrough, atSt Mary's Cathedral. Catholic schools in the diocese are run by the Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust as well as St Cuthbert's Roman Catholic Academy Trust.
The diocese was created on 20 December 1878, when the thenDiocese of Beverley, which covered the whole of Yorkshire, was divided into the Diocese of Middlesbrough, covering the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire and those parishes in the City of York to the north of the River Ouse, and the Diocese of Leeds, covering the West Riding of Yorkshire and those parishes in the City of York to the south of the River Ouse. In 1982 the two York parishes south of the River Ouse were ceded to the Diocese of Middlesbrough to unite the City of York under one bishop. The parish ofHowden was transferred from Middlesbrough to the Leeds diocese in 2004.
The Bishop of Middlesbrough isTerence Patrick Drainey. He was ordained as the 7thBishop of Middlesbrough on 25 January 2008, replacing the Right ReverendJohn Patrick Crowley.
