100th ANNIVERSARY OF HOLY REDEEMER PARISH:
Prior to 1926, the Corner Brook area was part of the Sacred Heart Parish in Curling. However, following the opening of the paper mill in 1925 and the subsequent growth in population, the need was felt for the Roman Catholic Parish in Corner Brook. So, Holy Redeemer Parish was established in 1926. Monsignor Walter Brennan was the first parish priest and St Henry’s Chapel in Townsite served as the parish church. This year marks the 100th anniversary of a Roman Catholic Parish in Corner Brook. This milestone event, allowing Roman Catholic Catholics to practice their faith in the city, will be celebrated at the 11:00 am Mass at the Cathedral on Sunday, October 18th. Mass will be followed by the taking of qa commemorative photo of all those in attendance and a reception in our newly refurbished lower level with a historical display for viewing. Please come and join us.
