The function of the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Grouard-McLennan is to administer regional parishes.

The Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Grouard-McLennan administers parishes under its jurisdiction. Established as the Apostolic Vicariate of Athabaska Mackenzie in 1862, archdiocesan boundaries changed throughout its history until 1967, when it was elevated to the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Grouard-McLennan.

During the Residential School System, several residential schools operated within archdiocesan boundaries. The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate acted as principals in these schools while the Sisters of Providence acted as teachers. All residential schools remained under Church supervision until 1969, when the Government of Canada took over all responsibility for school supervision.

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). In IRSSA, the diocese is named as “La Corporation Episcopale Catholique Romaine de Grouard/Roman Catholic Episcopal Corporation of Grouard.”
