About St. Michael Catholic Community

Our Vision

We are a Catholic parish in the Diocese of Calgary answering Pope Francis’ call to be a spiritual field hospital

Our spiritual life is centered on the Eucharist — the source and summit of our Christian life. With a history that spans over 60 years, St. Michael’s strives to create a home for everyone and has been a place where people’s lives have been transformed by the Father’s love.

A launchpad for medics

Our parish community is on a mission to warm hearts and heal the wounds of those whom God places in our lives. Through a life of worship, prayer, and generosity, we form disciples — sent out as medics to show God’s love and mercy through their personal witness.

Mission: St. Michael Catholic Community is a Spirit-filled church where all may experience that they are seen, known, and loved by God, and who share this encounter with others.

Values

We will fulfill our mission by living out our values: worshipping in the Eucharist, cultivating a life of prayer, relating with others in fellowship, drawing others to Jesus through disciple-making, and creating a culture of generosity by sharing our time, talent, and treasure.
