Administrative history
The Rosenheim District, not far from the eastern limit of the Edmonton Archdiocese, was settled mostly by German and American immigrants who arrived in the early 1900s. The first resident priest to serve them was a German Oblate of Mary Immaculate, Father Augustine Forner, who arrived in Nov. 1909 and built a house-chapel in North Rosenheim. The first mass was for a wedding on Jan. 10, 1919 celebrated in the priest’s residence.
In 1922 construction began on a new church which was blessed and dedicated to St. Norbert on July 26, 1923 by Archbishop O’Leary. On June 3, 1930 Archbishop O’Leary authorized Father Hanley to erect the Stations of the Cross. Between 1954 and 1969 Rosenheim was a mission served from Bobo. In 1969 the parish was closed and the records were transferred to Provost. In 1978 the building was declared a historical site.
