As Albertans prepare for the October 19 referendum, the Catholic Bishops of Alberta invite the faithful to approach this civic responsibility with prayer, an informed conscience, and care for our neighbours.

May our participation be guided by faith, charity, truth, and a desire to serve the common good.

As September begins and summer draws to a close we look back with gratitude. We had our first ever music camp where children learned some new songs, played some music and made new friends. Our annual pilgrimage once again brought people together for a time of worship, prayer & community. SAPY summer days were some of the sunniest days of the summer and youth were able to gather, nurturing old friendships and building some new. Just this past weekend, youth were invited to bring their backpacks to Mass for a special blessing, to begin the new school year.

As we bid farewell to summer, we welcome the new season with open arms, excited to see what's in store.

Happy Anniversary of Priesthood to Fr. Gordon!

Today, September 1, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the priestly ordination of Rev. Gordon Anthony Cook, OMI.

Born in Winnipeg, Fr. Gordon was ordained to the priesthood on September 1, 1996, at St. Mary Parish in Prince George, B.C., by Bishop Gerald Wiesner, OMI.

For three decades, Fr. Gordon has faithfully answered Christ’s call to priestly ministry and service to the Church. He is now semi-retired and living at Foyer Lacombe in St. Albert.

Please join us in giving thanks to God for the gift of Fr. Gordon’s priestly vocation and in praying for him on this special anniversary.

Lord, send holy and generous men to serve Your Church as faithful priests. Grant them the courage to answer Your call and the perseverance to follow it with joy. Amen.

For 88 years, generations of Catholics have gathered at St. Albert’s Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto to honour Mary and celebrate the Feast of the Assumption.

What began as a cherished family pilgrimage continues today as a beautiful expression of faith, prayer and fellowship. This year, more than 800 people gathered for outdoor Mass, continuing a beloved tradition that has connected families and communities for generations.

May Mary, assumed body and soul into heaven, draw us ever closer to her Son and inspire us to live with faith and hope.

Our Lady of the Assumption, pray for us!
