Where can I find information about places of worship?

A place of worship can be an important source of support for you as a newcomer.

For example, you can find out where to find food that meets your religious dietary needs, or stay connected to your language, culture and traditions.

Here are some ways that you can look for a place of worship in your area:

• Look in local or ethnocultural media.
• Contact an ethnocultural organization.
• Talk to people in your community.
• Contact a settlement agency.

In Canada, places of worship often provide social services. For example, they might organize food or clothing for people in need, or help newcomers settle in their communities. They may also advocate to defend the rights of refugees and immigrants.

Many community agencies can help you find a place of worship. To find a community agency in your area, go to Services Near Me.
