I’m not sure what the Archdiocese does. Where does all the money go?
The operations of the Archdiocese of Edmonton are financed by the cathedraticum, which is 15 per cent of Sunday collections in parishes. This money is used to serve the people of the Archdiocese; none of it is automatically sent to the Vatican. The Archdiocese serves the spiritual needs of more than 358,000 people who identified themselves as Roman Catholic in the most recent federal census. The Archdiocese includes the greater Edmonton area and covers 81,151 square kilometers stretching from the Rocky Mountains in the west to the Saskatchewan boundary in the east, from Olds in the south to Villeneuve in the north. It includes 129 parishes and missions in cities, towns, rural areas and native communities. The Archdiocese is led by Most Reverend Richard Smith, who was appointed Archbishop on March 22, 2007. The Archbishop is assisted in his missions of teaching, sanctifying and governing by diocesan offices that support and promote active participation in the Catholic faith throughout t
