Fellow parishioners Wince St. Andrew’s is located downtown near tourist attractions, it draws many visitors to the area. There is a significant number of elderly Catholics and Asian immigrants.

Parking As a downtown parish, taking public transportation is always easier, but there is a city parkade across the street that offers free parking on Sundays.

Additional observations St. Andrew’s is the cathedral church of the diocese of Victoria, British Columbia, which encompasses all of Vancouver Island (there are ferry routes from Washington State and Vancouver, or you can fly). It is a majestic old church built in 1892, and features Victorian Gothic architecture, including a 175-foot spire. Due to the age of the church, renovation is ongoing. Its interior features traditional stained glass windows and artwork.
