COME AND VISIT WITH FELLOW PARISHIONERS. ALL ARE WELCOME.
FUNDRAISING FOR THE PAPAL VISIT
JULY 24
- 29, 2022
Edmonton - Quebec - Iqaluit
We are delighted to share the
joy of the upcoming pastoral visit by Pope Francis to Canada
on July 24-29, 2022. This visit will be one of healing, hope
and reconciliation that we hope will be a watershed moment
for the Indigenous Peoples of this land and the Church’s
relationship with them.
The
Vatican has confirmed that the Holy Father will utilize
three hubs for the visit to Canada: Edmonton, Quebec City
and Iqaluit. It will be a much more modest visit than a
usual papal pilgrimage, due to the Holy Father’s age,
health, and mobility issues. ● Still, there are costs
associated with the visit, including lodging and event
security, event production costs and site logistics. National organizers
estimate the total cost of the visit at $15 million,
and are working to secure support from all levels of
government as well as the private sector.
There will be two pew collections within Archdiocese of
Edmonton to help with these costs. The first will be June
18-19, prior to National Indigenous Peoples Day
on June 21. The second collection will be July 23-24. Pope
Francis arrives in Canada on July 24. Donations also may be
made:
Take a moment during your busy days to remove
yourself once a month from that business of today’s life and come
and spend some quality time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in
St. Matthew Church. Prayer and meditation before our Lord in the
Blessed Sacrament are great ways to
spend some special time with
Jesus. You can ask Him for graces for yourself or for
loved ones, reflect on His Word, or just keep Him company silently!
Offer your precious time to Him - come for Adoration. Will you spend
an hour with Jesus? Will you come?

inspirational. We hope that you can find time to view it
and to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for St.
Joseph, the protector and provider of the holy family. Copy

We’ve all been shaken by
the news from Kamloops and the horrific discovery made
at the former Kamloops Residential School. It’s reopened
old wounds that never really healed, and that are still
extremely painful.
Watch this video about our seminarian JD Carmichael
JD Carmichael had his whole life planned out. A great
career, a house, and plenty of outdoor hobbies. Watch to
find out why it all changed when he felt God was calling him
to something more!
Our parish
invites you individually or as a family to say the rosary
with the help of the internet. "Come Pray the Rosary" is a
perpetual rosary that allows people to say the rosary together on
the internet. You can join with others and say the rosary in
progress, or start it individually by choosing the mystery you want
to say.
Through this website, you can follow along as the Rosary is recited,
with the visual aid of video from the Holy Land. You can literally
see the places where the mysteries take place! You also can keep
track of how many other people, around the world, are joining you in
prayer. By clicking on the number of
people praying and then the map, you can actually see the location
of those you are praying with on a map. Please check out this great
website at
