Denomination: Roman Catholic
St. Andrew's Roman Catholic Church, established in 1908, was the third Parish to be established in Vancouver.
St. Andrew's Elementary School, located at 450 East 47th Avenue in Vancouver, BC, is part of the Catholic Independent Schools of Vancouver Archdiocese (CISVA). We are members of a greater community of Christians, drawn from around the world, who share both a love of learning and a deep pride in our faith.
The origins of St. Andrew's Parish are now forgotten, passed from living memory. It is generally surmised that Archbishop McNeil purchased property in 1910 for a parish to serve the southern half of St. Patrick's Parish, which then stretched from False Creek to the Fraser River. There was a house on the property, and to the best of our knowledge, in the year 1911 Father J. Augustine McDonald became the first Pastor of our parish.
