At our parish, we have exceptional sacramental programs to get you or your child prepared to receive the sacraments. Watch our Flocknote to stay updated on upcoming sacramental prep classes for Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation.

RCIA, or the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, is a preparation program for adults wanting to become Catholic or to receive the sacraments in a Catholic context. There is a similar program for children seven years of age or older to become baptized and receive certain sacraments, according to their age and understanding.

For those wanting to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick, you must contact the office to schedule an appointment. Special care is taken to ensure all confidentiality measures are taken.

For those wishing to get married in the Church, couples first meet with the parish priest. Please contact the office to schedule your first meeting.

Holy Orders is the other vocational sacrament for men discerning the priesthood. You can visit St. Joseph’s Seminary website for more information.

St. John’s Pew Project

The new pews are in!

After five long years of planning, the day finally came and the new pews are fully installed! Although it may seem like the job is done, we still need your help in raising funds. We hope that seeing it in person helps you recognize the fine craftsmanship and hard labour that was completed so that we can have perfect pews to park our posteriors that won’t pinch or pain!

For more details or to donate, visit our Donate page.

Who are St. John’s Parishioners?

Our Parish is vibrant with some families having two to three generations still able to attend Mass together, whether it be during Easter, Holy Week, Christmas or any other Sunday of the year! Most of our families bring their children to St. John’s to get baptized, receive their First Reconciliation, First Communion, seal their identity in our faith by receiving their Confirmation, and later in life, some get married in the Catholic Church! We are also humbled when our families bring their loved ones back for their Funerals of Christian Burial.

We are asking all who attend SJE to think about how they may help the parish financially. Just $50 per month accumulates to $600 per year, which would help us greatly, but all donations of any size are most appreciated. Remember: there is a tax benefit to all donations, which assists you and assists us.

Another way to contribute to the health and happiness of your Parish is through a donation of time. Do you have a talent or gift that would be very useful for the Parish in the coming months? God gave them that you might share them: we hope you will.

Remember: SJE is not merely our grandparents’ or parents’ Church, it now becomes our Church as well. Your generous donation today guarantees that the Church will still be here for you, your children, and your grandchildren tomorrow.

  • How many people have celebrated each of the seven Sacraments?
  • How many families are active in our parish?
  • Are they donating treasure (money) and/or time (volunteering)?
  • How many families use envelopes and/or donate through other means?
    Pre-authorized donations, e-transfer or Visa.
  • How much money is being donated for “Parish Fund” donations? 

Parish Fund donations funds pay for the everyday needs of our Church: salaries, power, gas, insurance, maintenance of our over-60-year-old building, and most importantly the celebration of Mass itself.

We will have a new Archbishop! On November 21, 2025, Pope Leo announced the election of Archbishop Stephen Hero as the 8th Archbishop of Edmonton.

Most Reverend Stephen A. Hero is not unfamiliar with Edmonton – he has lived here since the age of 10, was ordained a priest in 2000, and has served in various positions and roles in Edmonton before being appointed as Bishop of Prince Albert in 2021. We warmly welcome Archbishop Stephen A. Hero to our Archdiocese once again!

Together We Serve 2026 Campaign

ONE CHURCH. ONE GIFT.

Together We Serve is an annual appeal in the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton. Launched in 2014, TWS simplifies giving by combining recurring special collections in parishes and inviting Catholics to work together to serve those in need at home, in Canada, and abroad. Together We Serve shows both Catholics and those around us that we are all one Church, acting together to advance the Mission given to us by Jesus Christ.

The WINDOW is the weekly emailed or texted bulletin of the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton. As a Catholic here, you are part of the Archdiocese and deserve to know what’s happening. This is how you find out. The WINDOW is the single source of news from the Archdiocese – a window into our Catholic community.

Why ‘WINDOW’? It’s easy to understand: It embodies transparency. You can see in and see out. It illustrates faith. And it symbolizes multi-way communication.
