Excerpt from the foreword of Edmonton’s Santa Maria Goretti Catholic Parish: 65+ Years Strong
With deep gratitude and joy, I present this legacy book – Edmonton’s Santa Maria Goretti Parish: 65+ Years Strong – a testament to 65 years of faith, unity and dedication within our beloved parish community. This book is more than a historical record; it is a monument of a living example, a witness to the hard work and collaboration of many generations who have made this parish a home of faith and love. As we turn its pages, we embark on a journey through time, reliving moments of great joy, sacrifices, struggles and triumphs that have shaped our community.
“Like the maple leaf, a symbol of Canada’s natural beauty, unity and diversity, our parish reflects the harmony of many generations coming together, growing in faith, and strengthening their bonds as one family under God.”
—Father Roy Antony Puthuvala, CFIC
