History

Created from the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface and located on the west side of the Red River, the Archdiocese of Winnipeg (Latin: Archidioecesis Vinnipegensis) covers part of the province of Manitoba. It holds a distinction unique among Canada's Latin Church dioceses: it belongs to no ecclesiastical province and is immediately exempt to the Holy See.
