The function of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Winnipeg is to administer the parishes in the region.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Winnipeg is a Catholic religious organization responsible for the administration of regional parishes. It was created from territory given by the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Saint Boniface on December 4, 1915 and oversees the western half of Winnipeg and the southwestern portion of Manitoba.

During the Residential School System, several Catholic schools operated within diocesan boundaries. The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate acted as school administrators while several religious sisterhoods acted as teachers. Catholic entities operated these schools until 1969, when the Government of Canada took over school administration, though some Oblates and sisters remained as governemnt employees.

During the 1990s, the public became more aware of the impacts of residential schools. This led to an increase in litigation against the Government of Canada, which culminated in the creation of the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA) in 2006. IRSSA outlined the process by which residential school litigation was carried out in addition to creating the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC).
