More than 150 years ago, the Sisters of Charity arrived in alberta
They came with faith, courage and an unshakable belief in the sacredness of every life.
In a time when medical care was scarce and communities were still forming, these courageous women chose to serve: tending to the sick, comforting the dying and building the foundations of Catholic health care in this province.
To continue Jesus Christ’s healing ministry and the belief that each person is created in the image of God, Covenant cares for the whole person — body, mind and soul — serving people of all faiths and backgrounds with dignity, respect and hope.
They built hospitals. But more importantly, they built a legacy of compassion.
Today, that sacred mission lives on through Covenant, Alberta’s largest Catholic health care provider.
A Legacy of Love
Love doesn’t end. It becomes a legacy. In this moving story, Abe Martens shares how his wife Eva’s final months of care, filled with compassion and faith, inspired an extraordinary act of generosity that now serves others.
The Power of Colour in Senior Care
Faith has a way of making the invisible visible. This story shows how colour, compassion and Catholic values came together to transform a memory care unit into a space that feels more like home.
