Welcome!

This blog describes Bishop Legal's role in Alberta and St. Albert's histories.
Bishop Émile Legal lived from 1849 to 1920. He was a French Oblate who served the Blackfoot missions in southern Alberta from 1881 to 1897 when he was named coadjutor to Bishop Grandin in St Albert. At the Bishop's death, he took his role and title. At the Vatican's order, the St. Albert diocese was upgraded to an archdiocese and moved to Edmonton in 1912.
