L’air d’\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 Edmonton porte une certaine m\u00e9lancolie ces jours-ci alors que notre ville s’appr\u00eate \u00e0 dire au revoir \u00e0 un leader spirituel qui a guid\u00e9 les catholiques locaux pendant pr\u00e8s de deux d\u00e9cennies. Mgr Richard W. Smith<\/b>, dont la pr\u00e9sence bienveillante est tiss\u00e9e dans le tissu de notre communaut\u00e9 depuis 2007, partira bient\u00f4t pour Vancouver suite \u00e0 sa r\u00e9cente nomination par le pape Fran\u00e7ois.<\/p>\n

J’ai pass\u00e9 hier matin \u00e0 la Basilique Saint-Joseph<\/a>, o\u00f9 les paroissiens se sont rassembl\u00e9s pour ce que beaucoup ont d\u00e9crit comme une c\u00e9l\u00e9bration dominicale douce-am\u00e8re. Les magnifiques vitraux projetaient des motifs color\u00e9s sur les bancs, o\u00f9 des bo\u00eetes de mouchoirs circulaient discr\u00e8tement entre les fid\u00e8les de longue date.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 notre berger \u00e0 travers tant de d\u00e9fis,\u00a0\u00bb a murmur\u00e9 Margaret Donovan<\/b>, 72 ans, essuyant ses yeux apr\u00e8s la messe. \u00ab\u00a0La pand\u00e9mie, les changements sociaux, les conversations difficiles \u2013 il a navigu\u00e9 \u00e0 travers tout cela avec une telle compassion.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

La nomination, annonc\u00e9e plus t\u00f4t ce mois-ci par le Vatican<\/a>, \u00e9l\u00e8ve Mgr Smith \u00e0 la t\u00eate de l’archidioc\u00e8se de Vancouver, l’une des communaut\u00e9s catholiques les plus grandes et diversifi\u00e9es du Canada. Bien que repr\u00e9sentant une promotion significative dans la hi\u00e9rarchie catholique, la nouvelle a suscit\u00e9 des \u00e9motions mitig\u00e9es dans toute la communaut\u00e9 catholique d’Edmonton.<\/p>\n

Le p\u00e8re Michael Schumacher<\/b>, qui a travaill\u00e9 aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Mgr Smith pendant plus d’une d\u00e9cennie, a partag\u00e9 son point de vue alors que nous parlions dans la cour tranquille derri\u00e8re la basilique. \u00ab\u00a0Son style de leadership combine une profonde perspicacit\u00e9 th\u00e9ologique avec une sensibilit\u00e9 pastorale remarquable,\u00a0\u00bb a-t-il not\u00e9. \u00ab\u00a0Vancouver gagne quelqu’un de vraiment sp\u00e9cial.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Le mandat de Mgr Smith \u00e0 Edmonton s’\u00e9tend sur pr\u00e8s de seize ans, ce qui fait de lui l’un des leaders catholiques ayant servi le plus longtemps dans l’histoire de notre ville. Son travail s’est \u00e9tendu bien au-del\u00e0 des murs de l’\u00e9glise dans de nombreuses initiatives communautaires ax\u00e9es sur l’itin\u00e9rance, la r\u00e9installation des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s et le dialogue interreligieux.<\/p>\n

L’archidioc\u00e8se catholique d’Edmonton<\/a> sert environ 400 000 catholiques dans le centre de l’Alberta. Sous la direction de Smith, l’archidioc\u00e8se a consid\u00e9rablement \u00e9largi ses programmes de sensibilisation, particuli\u00e8rement en r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 la crise des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s syriens et pendant les premiers jours difficiles de la pand\u00e9mie de COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Le maire d’Edmonton, Amarjeet Sohi<\/b>, a reconnu les contributions communautaires de l’archev\u00eaque lors de la r\u00e9union du conseil municipal de la semaine derni\u00e8re. \u00ab\u00a0Mgr Smith a \u00e9t\u00e9 un partenaire inestimable pour aborder les d\u00e9fis sociaux les plus pressants de notre ville,\u00a0\u00bb a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Sohi. \u00ab\u00a0Son approche collaborative a renforc\u00e9 les relations interconfessionnelles d’Edmonton et cr\u00e9\u00e9 des ponts significatifs entre diverses communaut\u00e9s.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

La transition survient \u00e0 un moment complexe pour l’\u00c9glise catholique au Canada, alors qu’elle continue d’aborder son r\u00f4le historique dans les pensionnats autochtones et cherche la r\u00e9conciliation avec les communaut\u00e9s autochtones. Smith a \u00e9t\u00e9 remarqu\u00e9 pour son engagement direct dans ces conversations difficiles.<\/p>\n
