EDMONTON  Pastor. Mentor. Teacher. Community Leader. Friend.
Fr. Mike McCaffery was all of these and more, and the loss of the much-loved priest casts a long shadow on the Archdiocese of Edmonton where he served for more than five decades. Fr. McCaffery died Jan. 12 due to possible complications related to COVID-19. He was 85.
“As I tried in my mind to capture the significance of his death, superlative phrases sprang to mind, as I am sure was the case for many others who knew him, like ‘Death of a legend,’ ‘the passing of an era’ or ‘the end of an institution,’ ” Archbishop Richard Smith said in a statement. “These are all true, so extensive was the impact of his priestly ministry on the people of this archdiocese, and so many were his accomplishments.” ....

EDMONTON
Reverend Mike McCaffery, the priest who officiated Wayne and Janet Gretzky’s wedding, died at the age of 85 due to possible complications related to COVID-19, according to the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton.
“‘Death of a legend,’ ‘the passing of an era’ or ‘the end of an institution.’ These are all true,” said Edmonton Archbishop Richard Smith in a press release.
“So extensive was the impact of his priestly ministry on the people of this Archdiocese, and so many were his accomplishments.”
McCaffery studied at St. Joseph Seminary in Edmonton between 1954 and 1961 when he was ordinated.
McCaffery served with a number of churches throughout the province, including Edmonton, Leduc, Mearns, Maskwacis and Red Deer, between 1961 and 2003. ....
