Parishes in the southern part of the Blackmore Vale Deanery

 

The 19 parishes are divided into five benefices, with three stipendiary priests heading local ministry teams of ordained and lay people who work for the proclamation of the Christian Gospel through liturgy, involvement in the whole community, and social concern and action.
