Jan. 25th, the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, is the anniversary of Archbishop Gerard Pettipas’ ordination and installation as Archbishop of Grouard-McLennan. The ceremony was held on Jan. 25th, 2007. Shortly before his 18th anniversary as archbishop, some of our chancery staff brought His Grace a cake at home today to help celebrate the occasion.

Archbishop Pettipas has been home from the hospital since January 16th, recovering at home and doing the daily exercises recommended by his doctor.

Thank you for all your years of service and leadership in our archdiocese Your Grace! With you as their shepherd, the people of this archdiocese have felt blessed beyond measure.
