A Deanery is part of the organizational structure of a diocese. Within any diocese are a number of parishes, or local churches shepherded by a pastor.

There are currently seven deaneries in our diocese of Orange. The priest dean, or Vicar Forraine, of each deanery is elected by his peers to represent them for a term of three years. Our current dean is Fr. Steve Sallot, pastor of St. Edward the Confessor and Administrator of San Felipe de Jesus.

As our diocese continues to develop and expand ministries, we are seeing that there is a greater need to work together more closely, sharing the resources and talents of each parish community. Greater communication helps in building up the Body of Christ. Please visit the websites for all of the Parishes in Deanery 7 below:
