“The creation of a new Holy Spirit Province in Canada reminds us of the heart of our Franciscan charism. This name reflects our desire to be let by the Holy Spirit, even on an unknown path. It evokes the experience of Pentecost and the essence of the Gospel. I hope that the new Canadian province will be characterized by his evangelizing spirit.”

On Monday, October 22nd 2018, Fr. Michael Perry OFM, General Minister of the Franciscan Order, presided the 'Celebration of the Creation of the Holy Spirit Province' for the Union of the Franciscans of Canada. S+L Television was in St. Albert, Edmonton to film this historical event.
