ANNOUNCEMENTS
Welcome Back Fr. Ed!

We are excited to welcome Fr. Ed Eherer back to Grande Prairie and St. Joseph parish. Fr. Ed will be offering pastoral assistance to St. Joseph Parish but will also be involved in specialized Redemptorist Ministry outside of the parish. With restrictions due to the pandemic coming to an end, Fr. Ed and the Redemptorist Community see that parishes will need some specialized help to build again.

Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic?

Year of St. Joseph

Archbishop Gerry declared a Year of St. Joseph in our Archdiocese, which began on the feast of St. Joseph, March 19, 2021, and will end on March 19, 2022. The diocesan office has created a number of ways to honour St. Joseph. Prayer cards are available at the parish office. The Archbishop encourages families and individuals to make a pilgrimage in the next year to each of the 3 churches in the Archdiocese dedicated to St. Joseph: Grande Prairie, Spirit River and John D’Or Prairie.
Pilgrimage Passports are also available at the parish office. Details concerning the pilgrimage, and more, can be found on the diocese website, archgm.ca/year-of-st-joseph, or call 780-532-9766.
