Why The B.C. Catholic?

• The official newspaper of the Archdiocese.
• They may not buy today, but seeing a trusted ad in a trusted newspaper keeps your business in their minds. And we're trusted.
• In their hands every week – not dropped in a lobby, not perched in a corner in a supermarket. It’s tangible, it’s real, it’s accessible - and it's in their homes and hands.
• We value our subscribers trust by screening who advertises with us – we call it The B.C. Catholic “double trust.” This means that our advertisers are trusted as well.
• If you’re a B2B and looking to become a vendor or supplier to the Archdiocese – the decision makers read our newspaper and note of who is – and who is NOT – advertising with the B.C. Catholic.

• Churches: 70
• Schools: 49
• Catholic families: Approximately 75,000
   NOTE: We’re talking families – not individuals; and Catholics believe in big weddings, big funerals, and big famlies.

• Each church equals one to two priests, often one or two nuns, office and volunteer staff and a number of other organizations. This means computers, facilities repair and maintenance, insurance services, catering, flowers, and other items that are regularly required in each parish. And we have 70 of them.
• What’s more – we’re growing and adding parishes and schools and expanding other parishes and schools.
• Each school equals teachers and students. This means maintaining the school, school programs, fundraising opportunities, sponsorship opportunities, and other good stuff.
