The Diocese of Pontoise (Latin: Dioecesis Pontisarensis; French: Diocèse de Pontoise) is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in France. Erected in 1966, the Diocese of Pontoise was split off from the Diocese of Versailles. The diocese is a suffragan diocese in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Archdiocese of Paris. As of 2021[update], the diocese had one priest for every 4,488 Catholics.
The first ordinations since its 1966 founding occurred in 2011, when four men were ordained priests for the diocese.[1]
