Cochrane, AB, Canada
August 25, 2026

Thank you to everyone who came out for the Family Festival to celebrate the Jubilee of St. Francis on August 8, 2026. We celebrated a mass, fed more than 350 people, enjoyed beautiful weather and live music in the afternoon. Vendors filled up a vibrant little market, and we sold out of ice cream. Live music with Liz Christensen, Brettyn Rose, and our own Br. Guylain Prince made for a wonderful afternoon.

We are grateful to our volunteers, partners and supporters from St. Mary’s Parish and Knights of Columbus (Cochrane), St. Francis Parish (Calgary), Bike Cochrane, COLT Busses, Rocky View Schools, McKay’s Ice Cream, Unique Soapstone Carving, Cultivate Cochrane, the Calgary Food Bank & Garden Volunteers, and the Diocese of Calgary, in addition to all our vendors including the Art of the Icon, Living Loreto, Bernadette Henwood, Blissfully Tallow, The Lion and the Lamb, and Found Books.
