Pastoral Letter from Alberta BishopsAs Albertans prepare for the Oct. 19 referendum, the Catholic Bishops of Alberta invite the faithful to approach this civic responsibility with prayer, an informed conscience, and a commitment to the common good.
Their pastoral letter offers guidance rooted in Catholic social teaching, including human dignity, care for the vulnerable, solidarity, subsidiarity, the dignity of migrants and newcomers, and respectful dialogue. Catholics are encouraged to study the referendum questions carefully and participate prayerfully. |

Multiply the HopeThe Diocese of Calgary is launching Multiply the Hope, a Jubilee matching initiative that invests up to $12 million in local parish renewal.
Even after the Jubilee Year concludes on December 28, 2025, this matching opportunity will continue through 2027, giving us additional time to reach our goal. During this three-year period, every dollar contributed to a parish’s Building Fund or Repairs & Maintenance Fund is matched by the Diocese, up to each parish’s designated goal. |

Justice, Healing & ReconciliationWe acknowledge that Treaty 7 territory, on which we stand, is the ancestral land of the Indigenous peoples and is common home to everyone in virtue of God our Creator's gracious gift.
On 8 February 2023, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following four pastoral letters on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. Intended as a framework for local engagement with Indigenous Peoples, the letters are the fruit of many months of listening, encounter, and dialogue with them, including through Listening Circles, the Indigenous Delegation to the Vatican in April 2022, and Pope Francis’ Apostolic Voyage to Canada in July of the same year. |
