        History

        Established in August 1981 by Bishop Paul O’Byrne to relieve pressure from Holy Trinity Parish, Holy Redeemer was made up of members from Dover, Doverglen, and Erinwoods. It was first served by Fr. Brendan Boland, who delivered mass in the Holy Cross School’s gymnasium, then at St. Luke’s Anglican Church, before a committee was formed in January 1982 and fundraising efforts began that year resulted in a temporary church in 1985. The structure was made up of six pre-fabricated ATCO trailers at 2707 – 28th Street SE, with the first mass held on June 22, 1985. On September 15, 1985, it was declared Holy Redeemer Church by Bishop O’Byrne. Fr. Boland was replaced by Fr. Greg McLellan in 1987, who remained with the parish until resigning in 1997. While the parish hoped to raise funds for a more permanent church, this never came to fruition, and it was recommended in the Diocesan Planning Commission’s 2000 report that Holy Redeemer once again merge with the Holy Trinity Parish, which was made official on July 7, 2001. A closing mass was held in the Holy Redeemer Church on February 11, 2001.
