History
Coronation is situated some 300 kilometres south east of Edmonton in a farming area. The first church was built in 1916 and Coronation Mission was served from Castor. In 1930, the first Pastor was appointed.
Sometime in the mid-twenties, a Catholic Women's League (CWL) was formed at Coronation but was later disbanded in favour of a local Altar Society. In April 1963, Fr. J. Williamson persuaded the ladies, some 25 members, to again affiliate with the Catholic Women’s League. In March 1975, the CWL disbanded again in favour of the Ladies’ Altar Society. (History of C. W. L. Councils and Their Churches, 1971, p. 37)
