About this organization
n the early 1900's the french speaking community in Calgary would congregate at Our Lady of Peace church founded by Father Lacombe, OMI and is now St. Mary's Cathedral. Over time, demographics changed within the community. This triggered the relocation of our small french community to St. Annes parish in the S.E. end of the city. Many francophones' remained in the Mission area of city and wished to have a parish closer to home. They pulled together to buy an unfinished Protestant church which is the currently the site of Paroisse Sainte-Famille Church. Through their hard work and fund-raising, the French community completed the church in 1963.
It was a time of great pride for our parishioners and our parish priest. Father Armand Lemire, put Sainte-Famille under the direction of the Oblates of the Immaculate Mary. Our first pastor, Father Beauregard, would not recognize this beautiful white church which replaced the our modest church in a basement from 1928 to 1963.
