Saint-Colomban Project – Because Faith has no borders
The diocese of Meaux covers the department of Seine-et-Marne, in the Ile-de-France region, the most populous region of France. Close to the capital Paris, the diocese has a history that goes back to the first centuries of Catholicism. Today, the Seine-et-Marne is the largest department in Ile-de-France, and the most visited by tourists after Paris.
The department also has one of the highest demographic growth rates in France. Its population has multiplied by 2.7 since the 1960s to reach 1.4 million inhabitants in 2020 (which is significantly higher than the neighboring departments). The department benefits from a dense and diversified economic network of 84,000 companies
