Histoire administrative
In 1972 Msgr. Fitzgerald was appointed Director of Communications for the Archdiocese of Edmonton by Archbishop Anthony Jordan. Wishing to deepen his knowledge of new media development Msgr. Fitzgerald took courses from the Alberta Technical Institute and at St. Paul’s University in Ottawa.
The Communications Centre opened in September 1973 and was dedicated to spreading the Gospel message through the use of electronic media. In particular the centre focused on using Television and Television programing to educate Catholics across Canada. Programs produced by the Communications centre include Open Window, Make it Happen, Scripture Series, Distance Education, Telesports.
Msgr. Fitzgerald was the first diocesan communications director to use satellite transmissions to bring his programs to viewers across Canada.
In addition to the television programing the Communication Centre also produced tape series of the cable transmission for small group or personal use, and in 1983 in conjunction with the Western Catholic Reporter created a series of tapes with summaries of the newspaper on tape for visual impaired readership.

Records were found in the archives, likely transferred prior to 2002. In 2013 additional records pertaining to the Communications Centre were found in the basement of the Pastoral and Administrative Offices building. It is likely that these records were placed there after the Communications Centre was closed.
