Administrative history
In 1967 responding to the call from the Second Vatican Council, the Archdiocese of Edmonton established a Senate of Priests to assist the Archbishop of Edmonton in the government of the Diocese "to consult with the Archbishop on problems and needs of pastoral work and for the general good of the Diocese and to be concerned with the intellectual, spiritual, material and social welfare of the priests of the dioceses and generally to concerns itself with any human problems arising in the diocese." (Taken from a document found in the file titled Senate of Priests - Correspondence 1969). The Senate was composed of the Archbishop and 17 elected members (one priest from each of the seven deaneries, four representatives from the religious clergy, two associate pastors, one representative from the seminary, and three age group representatives from among diocesan priests who are not associate pastors.
Issues of concern in the late 1960s and 1970s were related to mixed marriages and inter-faith marriages,
