St. Joseph Seminary

We give thanks for our brother, Deacon Sedale Rosillo, who was ordained to the transitional diaconate just before Christmas at St. Joseph's Parish in Prince Albert, SK, by Bishop Stephen Hero.

Deacon Dale has one semester left in his studies, and we ask that you keep him in prayer throughout this term. May God bless you and your ministry, Deacon Dale!

We give thanks with the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton that Bishop Stephen Hero has been designated the next Archbishop of Edmonton. Bishop Stephen served at St. Joseph's from 2005 to 2021, including nine years as rector, and will become the head of our community as part of his new role.

We also pray with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Prince Albert as they await a new bishop.

A busy September has come and gone, and it was made better by several of our community events! Every seminarian attended the opening BBQ of the school year at Newman Theological College, and a few nights later, we ventured out to Rundle Park for an evening of frisbee golf. One Saturday night, several seminarians went on a pedal pub tour of the Old Strathcona neighbourhood, and at the end of September, we celebrated Oktoberfest in-house, with a beer stein race and German spelling bee. Please continue to pray for us as the semester continues, and know that we are praying for you!
