St. Edmund's Parish History
The oldest Catholic church on the North Shore, St. Edmund's was named after a medieval archbishop of Canterbury, a man who was canonized only seven years after his death in 1240. His name was chosen for the church and school due to his reputation as both a scholar and a man of great faith. St. Edmund's Church is valued as a part of the Ottawa Gardens subdivision, designed to attract affluent and prominent families to the North Shore of Burrard Inlet. Planning and development was initiated in 1906 by the North Vancouver Land and Improvement Company. Prestige was guaranteed through minimum construction cost standards and restrictions on buildings and landscaping. Ottawa Gardens is now part of a rectilinear system of boulevards and parks known as North Vancouver's "Green Necklace," which also includes Grand Boulevard, Victoria Park and Mahon Park. This church, constructed at the east end of Ottawa Gardens, punctuates the vista looking west along the central boulevard.
St. Edmund's Church is valued as a testament to the long history of the Roman Catholic congregation in North Vancouver, and for its connection with the first Catholics – the missionary priests of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (O.M.I.) – to arrive in western Canada. The O.M.I. was instrumental in bringing Roman Catholicism to western Canada and the Canadian north. O.M.I. missionary priests frequently built churches and colleges and gave them over to secular clergy. St. Edmund's was established in 1910 by Father J. A. Bedard, and has operated continuously ever since. A Catholic School was erected to the south in 1911, expanding the teaching function of the Order, and a large rectory was built adjacent to the church in 1913. All three of these structures are exist on the site today.

St. Edmund of Canterbury
The Story of St. Edmund
1174 – 1240
Peacemaker, Father of the Poor, Patron of Sick Children
St. Edmund of Canterbury is remembered in England, France and America for his faithful life loving God. In France, where he is buried, St. Edmund is known as the patron saint of sick children.
In England, where he was born, St. Edmund is known as a peacemaker. Edmund’s life began in Abingdon, a small village close to Oxford. As a young man, he became a noted professor of maths and geometry at Oxford University. In mid-career, he was inspired by a dream to leave teaching and enter the priesthood. After becoming a priest, Edmund left Oxford for a country parish near Salisbury. There he gave away his possessions to feed the poor and care for the sick. The Pope, learning of Edmund’s self-sacrificing spirit, named him Archbishop of Canterbury.
While journeying to Rome, Edmund fell sick and died in Pontigny, France. He was buried there at the abbey and many miracles took place at his tomb. Within six years, the Pope declared him a saint. Six centuries later, the Society of St. Edmund was founded at Pontigny.
Now the Fathers of St. Edmund are involved in apostolates in England, the United States and Venezuela. The Edmundites keep their patron’s memory alive by following his example of service to others. The Fathers of St. Edmund try to be, as Edmund was, “eyes to the blind, feet to the lame, father of the poor and friend to strangers in trouble.”

May your light illuminate our hearts
Eternal God, this holy night is radiant with the brilliance of your one true light. May that light illuminate our hearts and shine in our words and deeds. May the hope, the peace, the joy, and the love represented by the birth in Bethlehem this night fill our lives and become part of all that we say and do. May we share the divine life of your son Jesus Christ, even as he humbled himself to share our humanity. Amen.
