Histórico
St. Rene church was founded in October 1913 as a mission of St. Anthony’s church, South Edmonton. The church was built by the Oblate Brothers and the generosity of Rene Lemarchand. It was ready for use in March 1914. The church was named after Rev. Rene Remas, OMI, a devoted missionary in Alberta (1853-1901). The mass was said every 3rd Sunday of the month by rev. Charles Devic, OMI, assistant at St. Anthony’s. The church was closed in Oct. or Nov. 1919.
The church was re-opened in May 24, 1925 under the name of “Our Lady of the Assumption”. The parish of the Bonnie Doon area used the church building until mid-April 1954. In the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the need was felt for a larger church. An architect from Europe was commissioned to draw the plans. Forest construction was hired for the work. The new church building was blessed on Holy Thursday evening by Rt. Rev. William Burke Carleton, V.G. on April 15, 1954. And the first Mass was celebrated on April 18, 1954 on Easter Sunday by Rev. Richard O'Neill, the Pastor. The new church building was officially open on August 15, 1954.
The original church building, “White Church on the Hill” (St. Rene church), was moved to Uncas in October 1954. The Uncas church was closed around 1962 by Rev. Kenneth Kearns of Sherwood Park. The property was sold to a fundamentalist group around 1978; it was neglected and later it was dismantled.
