The Archdiocese of Vancouver is the Catholic Church’s presence in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland and beyond—serving over 400,000 Catholics across 77 parishes and a region spanning 120,000 square kilometres. Through parish life, social outreach, Catholic education, and community support, we accompany people at every stage of life—proclaiming Christ, serving the vulnerable, and forming missionary disciples.

Under the leadership of Archbishop Richard Smith, we are renewing the Church for a new apostolic age—strengthening parish life, forming missionary leaders, and responding boldly to the needs of today’s world. We are investing in youth and family ministry, walking with Indigenous communities on the path of reconciliation, and equipping hundreds of new leaders through retreats, marriage formation, and leadership development. Through ministries that serve the homeless, the imprisoned, newcomers, and the sick, we are building a Church that proclaims the Gospel—where every person is welcomed, accompanied, and invited into a life-giving relationship with Jesus Christ.
