Geschiedenis
In 1909 Rev. Lucien Leconte made his first visit to the area east of Stettler (now called Castor). The first mass in Castor was said on Sunday Nov, 28, 1909 in the Harness Shop of Marc de Cathelineau with 25 people present. A building committee was organized to raise funds for a small house for the missionary shortly thereafter and on April 16, 1910 Father Leconte moved into the new building. By the spring of that year construction was underway for a new church, and on Aug 7, 1910 Rev. Leduc, Vicar General for the Diocese of St. Albert came to bless the new church and dedicated it to “Our Lady of Grace.” The church continues to be an active part of life in the city of Castor.
