The Archdiocese of Winnipeg’s Communication Services Office (CSO) is responsible for conveying pertinent information to parishes and other organizations throughout the Archdiocese.
The CSO is also responsible for responding to media inquiries and providing public relations support to the Archdiocese as well as coordinating content for the Archdiocesan website.
The Archdiocese of Winnipeg weekly News Bulletin is a compilation of news stories, upcoming events in the Archdiocese of Winnipeg, and other timely announcements from organizations such as the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The News Bulletin is distributed every Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. to all church pastors and/or administrators, members of the Archbishop’s Pastoral Council, deanery pastoral councils, healthcare ministry, prison ministry, religious communities and various other clergy and individuals.
Announcements are to be emailed to communications@archwinnipeg.ca no later than Mondays at 2:00 p.m. for inclusion in the following day's News Bulletin.
We are disciples on the way, said Archbishop Richard Gagnon in his Post-Synodal Proclamation that encapsulated the work of the Holy Spirit in our midst over the past few years. On the Way, the magazine, is one of the fruits of our Synod process.
On the Way seeks to further the work of God in our time by highlighting the key and pivotal Catholic stories in our community. The articles are not just the reporting of past news stories - rather, with great discernment, On the Way tells us: Here are the important issues in the Archdiocese of Winnipeg. Let us reflect on them carefully, and let us pray on them together as a community.
On the Way is made possible through your generosity - of time, talent, and treasure! We sincerely thank you for your continued support of Archdiocesan pastoral programs. You can further support our efforts by following our Archdiocese of Winnipeg social media platforms, and sharing the Good News found in our articles through your own social networking outlets. We sincerely thank you in advance!
The Archdiocese of Winnipeg Directory is published annually and is available online for viewing or printing by clicking here. The directory includes contact information for the archdiocesan curia, its pastoral services, tribunals and archdiocesan councils as well as a brief history of the archdiocese and its bishops plus current statistics. The directory includes detailed contact information for each church and mission including mass times and a breakdown of parishes, missions and reduced services churches by deanery. The directory includes detailed contact information for diocesan priests (including retired priests), religious priests, deacons, seminarians, brothers and sisters. Other sections provide contact details for retreat centres and organizations, educational institutions, social services and religious communities.
The directory is updated annually beginning in late summer with a target deadline for completion in late September. Individuals and organizations currently in the directory are contacted to provide required updates. However, the directory can be updated at any time during the year and individuals and organizations are encouraged to provide updates at any time as they occur.
The directory is grouped in five chapters on the website, each in an easy to view or print .pdf file. Updates are to be emailed to communications@archwinnipeg.ca.
