The Diocese of Hallam (Template:Langx) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in England. The diocese comprises the Metropolitan County of South Yorkshire, including Sheffield and the surrounding towns of Rotherham, Doncaster, and Barnsley, together with the district of Bassetlaw in Nottinghamshire. It also includes Bamford, Chesterfield, Clowne, Dronfield, Eckington, Hathersage, and Staveley in North Derbyshire.[1] It is a suffragan diocese in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Liverpool.
Erection of the Diocese
The diocese was erected on 30 May 1980 by Pope John Paul II, by removing territory from the Diocese of Leeds and the Diocese of Nottingham. It is one of the six suffragan sees that fall under the ecclesiastical Province of Liverpool (also known as the Northern province).[2]
The diocese derives its name from Hallamshire, an ancient name for the Sheffield area. It is under the patronage of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, whose feast is celebrated as a solemnity in the diocese on 27 June.
The first Bishop of Hallam was Gerald Moverley, who resigned in July 1996 and died later that year. The second bishop was John Rawsthorne, who had previously been an auxiliary bishop of Liverpool and titular bishop of Rotdon. The Diocese is currently administrated by Bishop Marcus Stock who was appointed apostolic administrator by Pope Leo XIV following the resignation of Ralph Heskett, C.Ss.R., with a look towards possible reunification between the Diocese of Hallam and the Diocese of Leeds.[3][4]
The diocesan Cathedral is the Cathedral Church of St. Marie in the city centre of Sheffield.[5]
