The diocese administers 98 parishes, six high schools, two universities, forty-four elementary schools, and two hospitals, along with social service programs such as Catholic Charities Diocese of San Diego and the St. Vincent de Paul society, known locally as Fr. Joe's Villages. Based in the San Diego area, the organization operates with a mid-sized workforce to support its diverse, faith-based activities. Its activities aim to serve the Catholic community in the region while also providing educational, healthcare, and charitable services to the broader population. In March 2025, the Catholic Climate Covenant designated the diocese a Laudato Si Champion, reflecting its involvement in environmental stewardship within its mission.
