Diocese Of St Helena
The Diocese of Saint Helena is an Anglican diocese within the Anglican Church of Southern Africa. It covers the islands of Saint Helena and Ascension in the Atlantic Ocean and was created in 1859. St Paul's Cathedral is on Saint Helena. History In 1502, an uninhabited island was discovered by the Portuguese admiral, João da Nova.
