St. Columba's, Beaumont ACW Makes Heart of Remembrance

The St. Columba, Beaumont ACW made a heart in remembrance of residential school children at their June meeting. The heart was displayed alongside the parish’s “thriving” chokecherry tree which was planted with Fiona Brownlee, a member of the Edmonton diocese’s Indigenous ministries team, who said a “wonderful blessing.” Submitted by Tracey Fodchuk, St. Columba, Beaumont
