Who we are
The first St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church was built in the mid-1920’s on property donated by a Mr. Glass. With donations of money and materials he organized the Catholic community to build the church. This first church was very small, with about a dozen pews for the local parishioners.
St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church survived with itinerant traveling missionaries for many years. In 1937, Father M.P. Rooney traveled once a month by train from Mayerthorpe to hold over and continued to carry out this obligation until 1951. Often, the Catholics in Whitecourt had to do without priests on Sundays because the roads were too dangerous to travel.
At present, our parish has many active organizations, including the Parish Pastoral Council, the Catholic Women's League, Knights of Columbus Council #7299. There are also two Catholic Schools associated with the parish:
Ecole St. Mary School, Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3; and Ecole St. Joseph School, Grade 4 to Grade 12.
Catholic schools and Catholic teachers are an instrument of catholic education in our society and the Whitecourt community is blessed to have these schools.
Our parish continues to grow, both spiritually and in numbers. There are many opportunities for all Catholics in the Whitecourt area to participate in their own personal spiritual development, and in the spiritual development of our community. We believe that we have received many blessing from our Lord, who has sent us many good people through the years who truly cared for our parish. Thanks be to God for His blessings, and may we work together for the Glory of God in serving the needs of our brothers and sisters.
