Jubilee 1911 - On St Albert's 50th

  • From Black Robe's Vision:
    There doesn't appear to have been a 50th anniversary of the founding of St Albert in 1911; instead, in the year 1909, the 60th anniversary of Father Lacombe's ordination and the 50th anniversary of Grey Nuns' arrival in Western Canada were celebrated. As well, in 1914, the 50th anniversary of Father Leduc's priesthood is celebrated, suggesting the community placed importance on the Catholic figures in St Albert. [BRV 332]
  • The telephone switchboard was moved to the Mauchle household and was operated from there for almost 50 years. Jacob was the telephone agent, and his wife Anna was the telephone operator. [St Albert Gazette]
