Fonds ARCAE-87 - Conseil Regional de Pastoral Francophone d'Edmonton Fonds

In order to facilitate communication and management of the many parishes within its boundaries, The Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton has used various models to group the geographical area of the Archdiocese into smaller regions.
In the late 1990s regional councils were established to function as an intermediary organization in the Archdiocese and were involved, on a regional basis, in decision making, coordination of services and activities, and to facilitate communication among parishes and between parishes and the Archdiocesan Pastoral Council. Each regional council was encouraged to establish its own procedures; however it was strongly encouraged that they meet at least four times a year. Members of the Conseil Regional de Pastoral Francophone d'Edmonton included St. Joachim Parish, St. Anne Parish, Immaculate Conception Parish, and St. Thomas D'Aquine Parish.
