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. Fr. Ed is preparing for this new role and we are eager to see him again. We expect he will be back in Grande Prairie towards the end of July.
