Worship location Approximate
Mapping communities…
Search by parish name, city, state, province, or jurisdiction. Choose a matching result to zoom to that location.
Choose which location types and jurisdictions to show. The map, search results, and territory assignments all update to use the included locations.
Needs review lists directory entries whose coordinates could not be resolved. Choose Explore to return to mapped locations.
Each cell shows the area closest to its parish among the displayed locations, measured along the Earth’s surface. Choose Off in this menu to hide the territory layer.
Choose this layer and zoom in. Tile colors show estimated drive-time bands. Where catchments overlap, each tile goes to the parish with the shortest estimated drive. Use Maximum drive time to limit the tiles shown.
Use Opacity to make the territory colors lighter or stronger so you can see the roads and places underneath. The slider appears when a territory layer is on.
Drag to pan. Use the + and − buttons, pinch, or scroll to zoom. With the map focused, the arrow keys pan and + and − zoom.
Click or tap a marker or colored territory to select its parish. Hollow markers show approximate locations. Choose View details in the popup to see the address, jurisdiction, and source links.
Open a parish’s details from the map or by searching for it. Estimated population counts residents within its displayed territory. For drive-time catchments, the selected maximum drive time sets the boundary used for the estimate.
Straight-line territories show the nearest included worship location by distance along the Earth’s surface. Drive-time catchments show the included worship location that is quickest to reach by car within 120 minutes, using roughly 1 km samples and roads in the same country. Estimates use static OpenStreetMap road speeds. The atlas has no attendance records or live traffic. These geographic areas do not represent ecclesiastical boundaries.

Location types are inferred from published names unless an official status has been independently confirmed.
Source-located means coordinates supplied by a directory, not independently verified rooftop accuracy. Hollow markers and an “Approximate” label identify estimated locations. Nearby boundaries may shift as records improve. Sites at identical coordinates share one territory.
Estimated territory population uses 2020 residential population from the European Commission’s GHS-POP R2023A dataset, aggregated to the atlas’s roughly 1 km grid. Counts near territory edges and simplified coastlines are approximate.
Land clipping uses generalized, public-domain Natural Earth boundaries; small islands and shorelines may be simplified. Street-address estimates use Natural Resources Canada. The basemap is © OpenStreetMap contributors.
