It is led by a bishop, and its cathedral, or mother church, is the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in the city of Portland. Pope Pius IX erected the Diocese of Portland by canon on July 29, 1853. Its territories were taken from the present-day Archdiocese of Boston in the nearby state of Massachusetts. Richard. J. Malone was installed March 31, 2004, as the eleventh bishop of the diocese. On May 29, 2012, Malone became bishop of Buffalo, New York and on December 18, 2013, Pope Francis named Robert Deeley, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Boston, to succeed Malone as Bishop of the Diocese of Portland. He was installed in a Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on February 14, 2014.[1]BishopsOrdinaries

HistoryBishop Richard J. Malone was installed March 31, 2004, as the eleventh bishop of the diocese. On May 29, 2012, Malone became bishop of Buffalo, New York. Subsequently, Pope Francis named him as apostolic administrator of the diocese of Portland pending selection of his successor.[2] On December 18, 2013, Pope Francis appointed Robert Deeley, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Boston as twelfth Bishop of Portland. His installation took place on February 14, 2014. ParishesThe Diocese is currently divided into 30 Clusters/Parishes.[3] Notable churchesCathedral{{Main article|Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of Portland in Maine}}The Diocese's cathedral is the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland. Basilica{{Main article|Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul (Lewiston, Maine)}}The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is located in Lewiston. The parish traces its roots to 1872 and grew due to a wave of late 19th century immigration by French Canadians. Construction of the current church began in 1906 and continued until 1936, by which time it was the second largest church in New England. Construction languished because the diocese split the parish in 1905 and 1923 and the new congregations took a portion of the parish treasury to establish and construct their own churches. In 1983, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2004, Pope Benedict XVI named the church a minor basilica. Historic placesSt. John The Evangelist Catholic Church is located in Bangor, Maine. John Bapst oversaw construction of the church beginning in 1855, and in 1973 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. EducationHigh schools
Public affairsOn January 6, 2000, the Associated Press reported that the Diocese of Portland had negotiated with and supported a Maine lawmakers' bill that barred discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation; this bill aimed to overcome the results of the Maine election in February 1998 that repealed the gay marriage law that Maine Governor Angus King signed into law. The Diocese did not have a position on the February 1998 vote, citing ambiguities in the law while acknowledging discrimination as unjust.[4][5] In November 2009 it was reported that the Diocese of Portland had contributed $550,000, or 20% of the total cash contributed to Stand For Marriage Maine, a successful campaign to prevent then-impending legalization of same-sex marriage in Maine.[6][7] Roughly 55% of the funds donated by the Diocese came from other out-of-state dioceses who donated money to the Diocese of Portland's PAC.[8] Ecclesiastical provinceSee: List of Catholic bishops of the United States#Province of Boston See also{{Portal|Catholicism}}{{div col|colwidth=30em}}
