Plunging into the Lord's Prairie Vineyard: Tinchebray Missionaries Evangelized and Established R.C. Institutions Throughout Central Alberta (1904-1924 - Paperback

by Henry L. Wostenberg (Author)

Follow the Tinchebray Congregation of intrepid priest-professors initiating with their
formation in nineteenth century France to their arrival to Central Alberta in 1904 where they evangelized, organized parishes, constructed churches, founded Roman Catholic convents and schools over a period of twenty years. Witness the challenges they faced adjusting their ministry from one primarily serving a French-speaking laity to one serving a growing multilingual church using English as the language of communication. Feel their disappointment when they were squeezed out of their Central Alberta missions in 1924 only four years after the appointment of Henry J. O'Leary as Archbishop of Edmonton,
their new diocesan superior. Could there have been a different ending to their saga?
