Diocèses de Savoie

What Diocèses de Savoie does

Diocèses de Savoie is a non-profit Catholic religious organization that consolidates three historic dioceses in the Savoie department of southeastern France: Chambéry, Maurienne, and Tarentaise. It is led by Mgr Thibault Verny, who serves simultaneously as Archbishop of Chambéry and Bishop of Maurienne and Tarentaise following his 2023 appointment. The organization delivers Catholic pastoral services to the faithful of Savoie, including administration of sacraments (baptism, marriage, confirmation, funeral), catechesis, youth and family ministry, healthcare chaplaincy, support for migrants, interfaith dialogue, and charitable works. It operates over 100 parishes organized into multiple doyennés (deaneries) across the region, supported by three diocesan administrative offices in Chambéry, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, and Moûtiers, and works in close coordination with monastic communities (including the Abbey of Tamié and Notre-Dame des Vernettes), lay Catholic movements, and the Enseignement Catholique school network. Notable programmatic activity includes annual pilgrimages (245 participants to Lourdes in 2025, 380 to Rome for the 2025 Jubilee), spiritual retreats, and the May 2025 beatification of Camille Costa de Beauregard at Chambéry Cathedral.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform or commercial product surface; its technology footprint is limited to a SPIP-based multi-site web estate (catholique-savoie.fr plus communication, annuaire, and eveque sub-properties) used for news, parish directories, donations, and event registration, alongside integrations with the RCF Savoie Mont-Blanc radio network, AELF liturgical content, and third-party mass schedule aggregators (GoMesse, Messes.info). Its revenue model is entirely donation-based, anchored on the annual 'Denier de l'Eglise' parish collection plus other offerings from parishioners; there is no commercial pricing, no enterprise contracts, and no disclosed financials. The stated core headcount of 7 reflects only central administrative staff, with the bulk of pastoral delivery provided by ordained clergy, religious order members, and lay volunteers across the parish network. The dioceses are preparing a coordinated trip to Paris in September 2026 for Pope Léon XIV's visit to France.
