Fr. Gerard Redmond, C.Ss.R (1907-1983), was a Catholic priest of the Redemptorist religious order who played a key role in the initial development of a Catholic school system in Hinton, Alberta.  He was pastor of Our Lady of the Foothills Parish in Hinton from 1964 – 1970 and from 1980 -1983. Born in Quebec, he grew up in Riviere Qui Barre, Alberta before studying for the priesthood.  Fr. Gerard loved to sing and played several musical instruments.  He played baseball and hockey as a young man, and later golf. In a 1981 interview, Fr. Redmond described himself as a renaissance man, because he was interested in everything and still learning.​ ​​

​The king will say to those at his right hand 'Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me. Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.'    Matthew 25. 34-36, 40
