The Diocese of Ontario Congregational Handbook has been developed by the Stewardship and Congregational Development Committee and is designed to be a resource for parishes for: information, policies and procedures, key programs and core services for parishes of the Diocese of Ontario.

Rather than reproduce content that already exists on this website or on the websites of the Anglican Church of Canada or the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario, the Congregational Handbook exists here as a general directory of weblinks to guide you to existing resources online.
