With gratitude and joy in the Risen Lord, the Archdiocese of Edmonton shares the following announcement from Archbishop Stephen Hero:
Fr. Jim Corrigan has been appointed Vicar General, and Fr. Paul Kavanagh as Episcopal Vicar for Clergy, effective April 21, 2026.
Both priests have served faithfully in these roles for several years, and we are deeply grateful for their continued dedication to the People of God.
Fr. Jim, ordained in 2004, serves as pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Sherwood Park and St. Francis of Assisi in Tofield, and will assist in the governance and administration of the Archdiocese. Fr. Paul, ordained in 2002, recently served as Archdiocesan Administrator and continues as lead of the Office of Divine Worship, now supporting the Archbishop in matters related to clergy.
Both studied together at St. Joseph Seminary.
As we approach Good Shepherd Sunday, Archbishop Hero also extends heartfelt thanks to all priests for their faithful witness and ministry.
Please join us in praying for Fr. Jim and Fr. Paul as they take on these important responsibilities. Let us continue to pray for one another.
