About our namesake – Father Hippolyte Leduc

Regarded as one of the foremost early advocates for Catholic education in the history of the province of Alberta, Father Leduc’s contribution to Alberta was substantial and inspirational.
Father Hippolyte Leduc, from whom the City of Leduc also derives its name, spent his life in the service of the church and the people of Alberta.
He became a member of the Northwest Territories Board of Education, was a school inspector, and was instrumental in convincing the government that separate school education should be funded. He also worked with the Grey Nuns and assisted in establishing the Misericordia Hospital.
