Father Chalifoux inspired the community to construct a parish church and himself began to create furnishings for the church with wood from shipping boxes.  The result of Father Chalifoux's dedicated woodwork is a unique and outstanding example of sacred art craft in Alberta and Western Canada.  Read more about Father Chalifoux in the featured article.     |    This digital collection was produced with financial assistance from Canada's Digital Collections initiative, Industry Canada. timeline »
