The Diocese of Wangaratta occupies the north-east of the state of Victoria and the Albury district of NSW and has an area of 40,867 square kilometres.

It is a rural diocese with several large rural cities, where tourism and agriculture are very important aspects of our community. We are close to the snow fields, large water storages which provide opportunities for fishing and water sports. It is very picturesque as much of the country is undulating or mountainous. There is a large variety of farming carried out, and a large area devoted to wine production with beautiful vineyards- it is an area of scenic beauty and fertile plains.

MU was started in the diocese in 1935, and there are now have 15 branches, 4 Caritas groups, and 2 Anna groups. There are 16 Lone members who live in parishes where there is no active branch. Some of our branches are small, but are very valued just the same.

For many years MU sponsored and organized a Silent Retreat which has now grown into an official event of the Anglican Diocese of Wangaratta.​

The Adopt-a –Theolog program
  • Each year, MU sponsors diocesan theological students with a financial grant to Deacons to help towards books or vestments.
