Historia administrativa
In the early 1900’s settlers came from Eastern Canada, the United States and Europe to live in the settlement called Sparling, on the banks of Stoney Creek.
They went to Mass at St.Thomas Church in Duhamel where Father H. Beillevaire had his mission. The first mass in Sparling was celebrated by him, in a home, in 1906.
Thereafter, Fr. Van Wetten came from Wetaskiwin whenever he could. Mass was celebrated in a home or office or sometimes in the Town Hall. In Dec. 2. 1909, the first church was blessed by Bishop Emile Legal, OMI and dedicated to St. Francis Xavier. Father Van Wetten came every 2nd and 4th Sunday, until 1915.
On October 27, 1913, a bell was installed and blessed by Bishop E. Legal, OMI.
To serve an ever-growing parish, it was decided in 1927 to build a new church. It was completed in 1928 and blessed on June 17th by Archbishop O’Leary.
The old church was sold to the Grace Lutheran congregation.
In 1962, the church was demolished to make way for an even larger church. Construction of the third church began on the same site in November 1962, and completed in July 1963. In the meantime, Sunday liturgies were conducted at St. Patrick’s School. The new church was dedicated and officially blessed on July 17, 1963 by Coadjutor-Archbishop Anthony Jordan, OMI.
Historial de custodia
The registers formed part of the Archives of the Oblates of Missionary Immaculate that were housed at the Provincial Archives of Alberta. When the Provincial Archives of Alberta was negotiating the donation / acquisition of all OMI Lacombe Canada records, their CEO (Rob Meilleur) in consultation with the Provincial (Ken Forrester) were very clear that they did not consider the sacramental registers to be Oblate records. Hence the decision by both OMI Lacombe Canada and the Provincial Archives to facilitate their return to the appropriate Archdiocese.
In March 2017, Monique Cloutier of OMI Lacombe began the process of repatriating the registers to the various dioceses that now have jurisdiction over the parishes that created them. The registers were obtained from OMI Lacombe Canada on June 28, 2017 by Rev. Adam Lech, Chancellor and Lea M. de la Paz, Archivist/Records Manager.
