Why The B.C. Catholic?
- The official newspaper of the Archdiocese.
- 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.
About the Archdiocese of Vancouver:
- Parishes: 85
- Schools: 48
- Catholic families: Approximately 75,000
NOTE: We’re talking families – not individuals; and Catholics believe in big weddings, big funerals, and big famlies.
Spelling it out...
- 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.
- 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 many purchasing needs.
