Histórico
The town of Busby was established when the Edmonton-Dunvegan and British Columbia Railroad started service in the area between 1912 and 1913. Father Eugene Rooney, pastor at Westlock organized the construction of a church in the area in 1930. The first mass was celebrated on Dec. 24, 1930 and Archbishop O’Leary blessed the church and dedicated it to St. Anthony of Padua on March 1, 1931.
Bubsy was a mission served from Mearns from 1931-1973 and from Villeneuve from 1973-2000. A Catholic school was established by Father Merchant and students were taught by the Sisters of Notre Dame who came to Busby to teach catechism after mass on Sunday. To supplement their teaching many students received correspondence catechism lessons from the sister of service in Edmonton.
On Jan.12, 2000 a Farwell Mass was held in Busby and the parish was merged with Mearns.
