Historia
Formally incorporated under the Societies Act in 1966, the St. Francis of Assisi Parish Men's Club was formed to be the sponsoring body of the 50th pack of the Cubs and Scouts in Edmonton, to encourage, foster and develop among its members a recognition of the importance of the Catholic Church in the national life, carry on a literary and debating club for the discussion of topics of general interest and to encourage the practise of public speaking among its members.
The group held annual meetings where members for the executive were elected. Membership dues consisted of $1.00 a year which ensured that any Catholic man living with in the boundaries of St. Francis Parish or any Catholic man who was a supporter of St. Francis parish could join.
Prior to incorporation the group existed in a more ad hoc manner, meeting to discuss issues relavant to the men of St. Francis of Assisi parish.
The Men's Club conducted fundraising activities including an annual dance to raise money for parish projects. Starting in 2002 the club sponsored a child in Haiti through Christian Child Care International.
When St. Francis of Assisi parish closed in 2005 the club was also closed.
