Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

Mary Ukrainian Catholic Parish

A commemorative history for the 50th Anniversary (1958-2008) of the Ukrainian Catholic

Parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Grande Prairie. This booklet is an

update of the 1998 booklet, with the addition of lists of officials for the local church,

biographies of three Patriarchs, and biographies of the Bishops of the Ukrainian Catholic

Eparchy of Edmonton for the 50 years this church has existed. Ukrainian Greek Catholic

services began in Grande Prairie in 1932, but it was not until 1952 that mass was celebrated

on a regular basis. These services were held in the Chapel at St. Joseph's Academy on 102

Street. In 1958, a decision was made to build a church, so the congregation was incorporated.

In 1959 they purchased a lot on the SW corner of 109 Avenue and 102 Street. Over the next

few years the congregation raised funds, decided on the design, and constructed the 40 x 24

ft. building with a vaulted nave. By 1965 they were holding services in the building, but the

official opening did not occur until July 20, 1969.

Catholic Church Rycroft

Booklet on the history of St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in Rycroft prepared

for the final celebration of liturgy on June 5, 2005. The congregation for this small rural

church were Ukrainian immigrants who settled near Rycroft . They held services in homes as

early as 1930, and in 1938 began to build a church on land donated by Michael Muzyka. The

church was completed in 1939. In 1945, a cemetery was established beside the church. In

1956, the church was moved onto a new basement in Rycroft, a more centralized site. It

remained active for another 50 years, but closed in 2003. A final service on June 5, 2005

brought about its decommissioning.

The Grande Prairie in 1928

The late 1920s was a hectic time in the Peace River Country. A record number of homesteads

were being taken out, and the fields were yielding more high quality grain than ever before.

The country had long been touted as a land of agricultural prosperity, and, if ever it seemed

so, it was during this time. In Septermber 1928, a McDermid Studio photographer visited the

area with a party of promoters and took a series of photographs of the Grande Prairie area.

This booklet, illustrated by the McDermid photographs, gives a snapshot of what the Grande

Prairie district was like in 1928.

The Historic Bad Heart Straw

Church

Booklet about the historic Immaculate Heart Roman Catholic Church built at Bad Heart in

1954. The church was built of rye straw bales held in place with steel girders and set on a

cement foundation. A cement slab floor, wooden truss roof, and rough plaster over the straw

walls completed the bulding. At the time it was the only church of straw bale construction in

Canada. The church was only used for about five years and closed in 1959. It was refurbished

in 1985 and is today a provincial historic site.

The Venturesome Reporter

"The Venturesome Reporter" is the story of Jim Bowes, written after his death in 1997. From

the dust jacket: "Jim Bowes and his brothers Bill, Howie and Dave, sons of a school principal in

Moose Jaw, SK, came out of the Depression and the war with the ambition to own a weekly

newspaper. With little more than youthful enthusiasm and a determination to work hard,

they harvested the opportunities of northern Alberta and succeeded. Jim Bowes combined

daring innovation and modern printing technology to build across Canada a chain of sparkling

community and specialty newspapers which were popular and profitable. The Venturesome

Reporter is a salute to a great business adventurer by a long-time friend and associate."

Wilderness Outpost

"Wilderness Outpost" is "the Fort Vermilion Memoir of Mary B. Lawrence 1898-1907." Mary

(Molly) Lawrence was the wife of Fred S. Lawrence, whose father Erastus in 1879 had

established the Irene Training School, "the first genuine attempt by Euro-Canadians to

instruct people of the First Nations in the Peace River Country in the ways of farming." After

Fred and Molly were married in 1898, they journeyed up to Fort Vermilion, where Fred would

become one of the most publicized promoters of the Peace River Country. During her nine

year stay in Fort Vermilion, May kept notes on people, places, events and circumstances

which she later included in her memoir: "Keewaitin: God of the North Wind" and which has

now been edited and republished as "Wilderness Outpost". "The manuscript provides a vivid

account of life at Fort Vermilion during this time, and reveals much about the interaction of

Euro-Canadian settlers, missionaries, traders and others with the resident Metis, Cree and

Beaver people. The work also discloses aspects of daily life in the North that are often over-

looked in the published accounts of visitors."
