On Wednesday, October 2nd, the community held a rally to promote the good of Newman Theological College. The demonstration was joyfully attended by a true cross section of faithful Catholics wanting to express their hopes for NTC and the Church in Edmonton. Our hope is that Archbishop Smith will recognize that this was a faithful representation of his flock and that he will be inspired to stand with us in harmony with Pope Francis' advice for bishops: "This is what I am asking you — be shepherds with the smell of sheep."
