Mission in Calgary
How it started
Our mission in Calgary began in 2014 at the call of Bishop Henry. We started at Our Lady of Fatima Parish, and our primary mission was first with the Portuguese and Brazilian people, and now our mission has expanded throughout the Diocese of Calgary, spreading the joy of evangelization.
