St. Joseph Catholic School (SJCS) is celebrating the “Year of St. Joseph” by looking back on its 40-year history in Spruce Grove.
In December, Pope Francis proclaimed 2021 the Year of St. Joseph in honour of the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. In the Archdiocese of Edmonton, the time dedicated to St. Joseph officially began on Mar. 19 and will conclude with the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception on Dec. 8, 2021.

The Coldest Night of the Year is going virtual.
The annual fundraiser for the Parkland Food Bank will be unlike others in previous years, due to the ongoing pandemic. Organizers are encouraging residents across Parkland County to participate in the virtual event on Feb. 20.
EDMONTON An Edmonton-area family has raised more than $30,000 for the food bank thanks to their Christmas decorations. The Harringa family decorated their house like the Griswolds from Christmas Vacation. In addition to the money, they’ve collected 15,000 pounds of food for the Parkland Food Bank. The donation is so large, the food bank doesn’t have room to store it all, so thousands of pounds are being stored on a neighbour’s property. “It s been awesome. I think the talk has been people are excited for next year, they want to do a little more so hopefully that means more lights, decorations, food,” said John Harringa.
