Archdiocese of Vancouver — Witness & Belonging
A multi-year collaboration exploring how story, presence, and faith can deepen understanding between the Church and its people.
Across gatherings, appeals, and annual reflections, Amitié Studio and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver have explored how generosity, vocation, and belonging might be portrayed with due reverence. From candlelit vigils to classroom scenes, each piece revealed belief as something practiced, not simply preached.

It asked what happens when hope becomes daily practice in the classroom.
