The @archedmonton certainly has a long tradition of devotion to St. Joseph. The cathedral, seminary, the Catholic college at @UAlberta, auxiliary hospital, and our first Catholic high school all bear the name of this wonderful saint.

I am stunned and heartbroken to learn of the fatal incident at Christ the King school.
My prayers, together with @archedmonton, go out to the family, friends, faculty, and community impacted by this senseless tragedy.
May God grant strength healing to all.
