There are no dioceses in the islands, but it forms an apostolic prefecture. There are over 230 Catholics in the Falkland Islands, approximately 10% of the total population. The superior of the prefecture is Father Michael McPartland who was appointed in 2002. [1]. Mass is also celebrated at RAF Mount Pleasant [2]
