Welcome to Drayton Valley!

The Trip
We began our journey Sunday Evening. After a small delay, our flight was underway and we arrived to Edmonton around midnight.

The Arrival

Greeted by posters and smiley faces, we drove to Drayton Valley and were tucked in bed by 2am. Thanks host families!

The Tours

The next day we were introduced to the administration at St.Anthony's Parish and Elementary School, as well as Holy Trinity Academy.

The Town

For those of you not too familiar with Drayton Valley, here are a few town stats:

   Drayton Valley is located in central Alberta, Southwest of Edmonton

   The population is approximately 7500 +people in surrounding area

   This is a city if oil and gas, but also agriculture and forestry.

   And, maybe most importantly, a new Tim Horton's can be found just inside of town, with another on the way!

We are very excited to be starting up parish ministry this weekend; playing music for the Masses, and introducing ourselves to the parish with Name Tag Sunday and a drama.
Thus concludes week 1

God Bless
