Catholic Parishes in Finland

Catholic Finland is a single diocese, the Diocese of Helsinki. It is divided into eight parishes.

On this site we want to give a brief presentation of each parish. Preliminary versions of our Parish Pages have been opened, but there is a lot more to be done.

  • The Katolinen.net Parish Pages 


Links to the websites of the parishes are available on the page of each parish. They are also available on the Finnish-language links page Linkkejä.

Please note that the names of the parishes are not translated on the map. Birgitta is St Bridget's, Risti is Holy Cross and Perhe Holy Family. Click on the image to open a map of the 2016 division of parishes.
