Established in 1820, the diocese is a region of the Anglican Church comprising the city of Winnipeg and environs and is divided geographically into three Archdeaconries, each with an Archdeacon providing administrative oversight. Each Archdeaconry is made up of two Deaneries, each overseen by a District Dean.

The Anglican Church of Canada

St. Luke’s is part of the Anglican Church of Canada, an independent, self-governing church in communion with the other 44 churches of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It includes more than 500,000 members in 1,700 parishes, and like Canada, the church has become culturally diverse. On any given Sunday the tradition of common prayer is expressed across Canada in many languages, including Inuktitut, French, Spanish, and Cree.
