I think it might be worth first looking into
why your program can throw so many exceptions, and whether you can do anything to prevent them. There are several defensive programming techniques such as proper parameter (and sometimes return value) checking, not returning nulls, and good documentation that can help to minimise these issues; but at the end of the day, an error is an error, and it may be just as easy to let it be caught where it should be - or indeed not at all.
Another question to ask yourself is: can the program be reasonably expected to recover from the error? In the case of an I/O exception the answer is usually 'no', so it may be just as easy to simply let the program fail; in the case of a parsing error, only you will know. You may also be able to help out users by providing good diagnostic messages, but to do that you generally need to catch the exception as early as possible.
Sorry if it's not specific enough for you, but exception handling is a complex subject, and there is no "right" answer. Personally, I'm a bit skeptical of one-stop "exception handlers", but it may just be because I've never found one that does everything I want.
