Claude Lemieux longtime resident of many communities in Western Canada passed away at home on Sunday December 2nd, 2007 at the age of 72 years. The fifth of ten children, of Adolphe Lemieux and Hélène Levesque, Claude was born in Paradise Hill, Saskatchewan, on July 17, 1935. There was no holding back this energetic and funny garçon. He worked hard enough at public speaking en anglais, to win the Saskatchewan 4H oratory contest. He also won Top prize at the 1953 Royal Winter Fair in Toronto in the judging of hogs. In 1954, the now fluently bilingual Claude, got a job with the Federal Department of Agriculture. The government sent Claude to the University of Saskatchewan for a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. Before he completed this degree he was led to begin studies at St. Mary’s College in Brockville, Ontario in January 1956. Claude then made his first profession of vows with the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists) in Woodstock, Ontario on September 15, 1957. Claude studied theology at Holy Redeemer College in Windsor, Ontario and was ordained on June 21, 1964 by Bishop Emmet Carter. He was first appointed to Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish in Vancouver. In 1970 he was named pastor of Our Lady of the Foothills Parish, Hinton, Alberta. Fr. Claude became a founding member of a new mission team in the Edmonton Province of Redemptorists. It was a serious effort to address the needs of the church in Western Canada after the second Vatican Council. He brought his creative mind, humorous stories, and unending energy, to this missionary effort for 25 years. In 1999 Fr. Claude retired from the Mission Team and was appointed to St. Joseph parish in Grande Prairie. In 2002 he was diagnosed with a cancer that attacks cells in the blood. Ever the optimist, he carried on with his work within the Peace River country working in St. Joseph parish, Grande Prairie and also helping other priests to get away for a holiday or serving in parish communities where no priest was available. He was a treasured confrere who throughout his 40 years of priesthood has walked the pilgrimage of Jesus, hand in hand with the poor. We often think of him as a Troubadour for the Lord. A study period in Israel in 1985 left a yearning in him to return to the Holy Land. During November of this year he fulfilled that yearning and completed a 9 day pilgrimage. He stated that it was an important spiritual preparation for his death, which occurred two days after his return from Israel. He also made pilgrimages to many funerals, weddings and social gatherings with his family. A pastor within his own family, Fr. Claude could always be counted on for presiding at weddings, and for wisdom and encouragement generously given to his brothers and sisters and their families. He will be sadly missed by his 9 sisters and brothers: Leonard Lemieux (Isabelle), Edna Brunning (Raymond), Laurette Bzdel (Ray), Clotillde Regnier, Ben Lemieux (Lorraine), Bernie McRann (Wendell) Larry Lemieux (Jeanne), Victor (Janet), and Roger (Jacqueline). Fr. Claude was predeceased by his mother Hélène and his father Adolphe; nephew Donald Bzdel, brother-in-law Donald Regnier, and niece Colleen McRann. Fr. Claude’s passion for service to poor and his positive attitude within our community will be greatly missed by all his Redemptorist confreres. We would like to thank all those who supported him in his years of service within the Church and all the many hands that supported him so lovingly at the time of his death. On Friday December 7th at St. Albert Parish in St. Albert, a Vigil Service will be celebrated at 7:00 pm. Then on Saturday December 8th at 11:00 a.m., a Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at St. Albert Parish.
