PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
The reason that we dream and journey in faith is to let the light of Christ
shine in Lake Country, the Okanagan and in the world, to let the light of Christ shine
through us, to proclaim to everyone God’s love for us all.

CALLING ALL ST. EDWARDS MEN

Did you know the second largest church in the world is in Montreal? It is a dedication to
Saint Joseph. This man goes by many names. He is the foster father of Jesus, patron saint of
Canada and fathers, protector of families and the unborn, patron of workers, and many other honors. 19 March is the Solemnity of St. Joseph, a day set aside to celebrate and honorSt. Joseph. May 1 is the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker.

Starting on 18 March and for the next six Wednesday evenings,
from 6:30-8:00, in the parish hall, the men of St. Edwards are
invited to attend a 90-minute study and discussions about this
important saint. The focus of the study group is to learn about
St. Joseph and the example he sets for Catholic men in their
everyday modern lives. Mark your calendars.
More information
will be published shortly on the parish website.
