Christ The Redeemer Catholic Separate Regional Division No. 3

Christ the Redeemer Catholic Separate Regional Division No. 3 or Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools is a publicly funded Catholic school jurisdiction serving students in a number of communities across southern Alberta, Canada. CommunitiesCommunities currently with Division schools include Okotoks, High River, Drumheller, Oyen, Brooks, Strathmore and Canmore. The division offices are in Okotoks. The division operates a network of contracted school buses to serve smaller outlying communities as well as farms, ranches and rural dwellers. Some of the smaller communities served include Black Diamond, Turner Valley, Rosemary, Priddis and Longview. OriginsThe origins of the district go back to the 1950s when Catholic parents in Drumheller and Oyen separately formed Catholic school districts and each opened a school, St. Anthony's School in Drumheller and Assumption School in Oyen. The then parish priest in Oyen, Father Molnar, was instrumental in helping with the foundation of the Oyen School. As the law stood in Alberta, a public meeting of all Catholics in the area (called a four by four from the size of the original school districts into which Alberta was divided) was called and a vote taken to see if a quorum was present (25% ) and if a majority of eligible voters approved of the project.
