Wangaratta is one of twenty-three dioceses of the Anglican Church of Australia. It has twenty-five parishes and seventy-six churches under the pastoral and administrative care of the Administrator, the Very Reverend Michael O'Brien. (Bishop John Parkes will be installed as the tenth Bishop of Wangaratta at Holy Trinity Cathedral Church Wangaratta on Saturday the 13th of December at 11am.) There are twenty-six stipendiary and forty-three other clergy associated with and permitted to officiate in the Diocese.

The Diocese of Wangaratta was founded in 1902. It covers the very beautiful north eastern part of the state of Victoria.

It extends from just north of the outer suburbs of Melbourne through to Northern Albury, which is over the state border in New South Wales, and from the fruit-growing areas of central Victoria to the start of the Snowy River country.

The Diocese is mainly rural but forty-five percent of the population lives in the cities of Shepparton, Albury/Wodonga and Wangaratta itself, which are steadily growing in population.

The Diocesan newspaper The Anglican Advocate is published bi-monthly, from February to December.
