Welcome Fr. James Hagel

We are pleased to welcome Fr. James Hagel as the new Pastor of Holy Name Parish, effective August 1, 2025. He comes to us from St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish in Chestermere, where he served since 2018 and led efforts to establish a permanent church building for the growing Catholic community. In addition to his parish ministry, Fr. Hagel has also served the Diocese as Vicar for Retired Priests and as a Judge with the Marriage Tribunal.

Known for his pastoral creativity and strong sense of community, Fr. Hagel brings with him a deep commitment to the sacraments and the life of the Church. We are grateful for his leadership and look forward to welcoming him as he begins his ministry here at Holy Name.
