Communications Tip – Beware the “Pretty Empty Pews”
It’s tempting to lead with “pretty empty pews” on websites and Facebook pages. But these photos miss the chance to send a more hopeful, people-focused message. “Here is the church, here is the steeple… see all the people.” Let’s make that our focus.

Summer Housekeeping for Parish Listings
This summer, we’re inviting all churches in the Diocese of Algoma to review their parish listing on the diocesan website. Check your contact information, send any updates (including Facebook links), and consider adding a photo. Keeping parish details current helps us stay connected and makes it easier for newcomers and visitors to find you.
In Thanksgiving for the Ministry of the Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Green
The Diocese of Algoma gives thanks for the faithful ministry of the Rev. Dr. Elizabeth Green, who served the Church of the Epiphany, Sudbury from 2020 to 2025. We pray God’s blessing upon her as she enters the next chapter of her journey, with gratitude for her leadership and care during her time in Algoma.
A Lifetime of Service and a Spirit of Hope
The Diocese of Algoma is grateful to have The Rev. Brad Mittleholtz serving as a delegate to the 2025 ELCIC National Convention. In this Day 3 reflection, he shares highlights from the election of a new National Bishop, heartfelt tributes to Bishop Susan Johnson, and a sense of hope as the church embraces its future with gratitude and faith.
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!

Archbishop of Algoma
