Parishes

Parish Ministry

The parish is an important place of ministry for friars of Western Canada.  We work a wide variety of ministries ranging from Parish priests to helping out in programs such as R.C.I.A.  We believe our life of prayer, the witness of our fraternity, our evangelizing spirit, and our sense of service to the poor and marginalized enable us to help create and sustain a unique type of faith community that makes an important contribution to the life and vitality of the local diocese.
