Religion

Rev. Deborah Walker, Rev. Don Koots and Martha Munz Gue at the re-dedication ceremony of the Barons Cemetery during the Centenary Celebration at Barons, Alberta in 2004. Many of the Estonians who settled in Alberta were devout Lutherans. Attending mass on Sundays was a tradition Alberta's Estonian settlers sought to continue in their new country. A church was a place of worship and, moreover, it created an ideal environment for socializing with friends and relatives.
