Who we are
The first mass in Castor was celebrated on Sunday, November 28, 1909 by Rev. Lucien Leconte p.s.m. in the harness shop of Mr. Marc de Cathelineau. 25 people were present. At this time, it was decided that a house should be erected for their missionary priest.
In May, 1910, a meeting was called for the purpose of building a church. This church was to accommodate 100 people and to be of frame construction. On August 7, 1910, Rev Hippolyte Leduc o.m.i., Victor General of the Diocese of St. Albert, came to bless and dedicate “Our Lady of Graces”. Fr. Leconte in 1920 decided to enlarge the church. The church was wired for electricity in 1927 and the renovation was completed in 1928.
When the original church became too small and in disrepair, the building was demolished and a new church was built. The new church, Our Lady of Grace, was blessed on June 24, 1973, by Archbishop Anthony Jordan, o.m.i.
Priests that served Castor include Fr. Lucien Leconte, Rev. John Joseph Nolan, Rev. John Joseph O’Halloran, Rev. Vincent Hartman, Rev. Richard Theroux, Rev. Edward McCarty, Rev.Bob Part, Rev. Kragbé G. Legré, Rev. Stan Blaszkowski, Rev. Kenneth West, Rev. Gregory Bittman, Rev. Mark McGee, Rev. Paul Kavanagh, Rev. Arlan Parenteau, Rev. Donatus Ihekwoaba, Rev. Miroslaw Kostarzewski, Rev.
