Pastor
I was born and raised in Edmonton but ministry has taken me all across our country. I have lived and ministered in Calgary, Saskatoon and Sudbury. I love this parish and the many ways we are able to serve our parishioners.

Associate Pastor
I am delighted to be here from the east coast of Canada, and to make St. Joe's parish my home. I particularly enjoy 1-on-1 conversations, and overall parish life.

Pastoral Associate
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.
