The Diocese of Algoma

Our diocesan mission is: ‘To share in the gathering work of Christ so that His newness of life overflows into our hearts, homes, churches, and community’.

This site is intended to help us in the pursuit of our mission, but it is a work in progress. We hope that you will find all the essential information required to make contact with one of our churches or clergy, and that you will return to visit the site soon. Better yet, we hope you will visit us in person!
