PRAYERS for those affected by the Fires
Picture
Hay River Fire
 Please include our Alberta Mackenzie Sisters in your prayers as many communities have been affected
by the wild fires.
​
The photo to the left is from the community of Hay River, NWT when it was evacuated due to encroaching fires.  This photo is an ominous glimpse into what they are facing.  Last year it was unprecedented flooding and this year fire.

May they be blessed with strength and courage in the days ahead and may their community be spared.

2022/2023 Memories & Milestones

Congratulations!

On March 22, Haggarty-France received the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice ("For Church and Pope") Papal Award at a ceremony at the Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica in Ottawa.
Marion, who is Senior Lead for the Mission Advancement department of the Archdiocese of Edmonton, was awarded for her exemplary work as the Alberta Sites Coordinator for the 2022 papal Visit.  Marion is a CWL member at St. Thomas More in Edmonton.
 
This high papal honour was awarded to Marion, as well as Chief Wilton Littlechild, former Grand Chief of The Confederacy of Treaty Six First Nations and one of the three national commissioners of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and Rev. Cristino Bouvette, who was Senior Lead of Liturgy for the Papal Visit and who serves as Vicar for Vocations and Young Adults for the Diocese of Calgary.
 
Eight other individuals from across the country were also awarded this honor for their leadership in advancing reconciliation through the Papal Visit to Canada of Pope Francis.
