As part of the 100th Jubilee of The Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton, parishes were asked to take a moment to reflect on their rich history. Each parish is a unique assembly of faithful stewards who have contributed to the life and development of the parish through its history. These faithful stewards have been sisters, priests, catechism teachers, Bible study leaders, members of the parish council, musicians, CWL or KC members, and other individuals who have devoted their life to the parish and contributed to its continued growth and development as a Christian community.
Parishes were asked to submit a short biography, between 500 and 1000 words, about an individual or family that had contributed to the community and life of the parish. Their stories and photos are shared here:
