The Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton

Founded in 1871 as the Diocese of St. Albert and elevated to the Archdiocese of Edmonton in 1912, the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton is a vibrant and diverse community of faith, serving approximately 500,000 Catholics across Central Alberta, Canada. We are home to 116 parishes and 11 missions, two Catholic post-secondary institutions, and one seminary. Mass is celebrated in multiple languages, reflecting the rich cultural and ethnic diversity of our faithful—making us one of the most inclusive and multicultural dioceses in the country. Rooted in our love for Jesus Christ and united in faith, we are committed to living out the mission of the Church through our Pastoral Priorities: -> Formation for Eucharistic Worship – Deepening our reverence and understanding of the Eucharist at the heart of Catholic life. -> Formation for Confident Witness – Empowering all the faithful to boldly live and share the Gospel. -> Formation for Service to Marriage and Families – Strengthening family life as the foundation of a flourishing Church and society. Together, through worship, witness, and service, we strive to be a sign of hope and love in the heart of Alberta.
