1904
-- Procession of Roman Catholic clergy, Indian people and brass
bands leaving twin towered Our Lady of the Rosary Church on its
way to the blessing of St. Augustine's Indian residential school
by Bishop Augustine Dontenwill. The domed building behind the
twin towered church was the second Indian church, S.S. Redempteur
or Church of the Most Holy Redeemer built in 1872 and blessed
in 1873. It was probably used as the catechism house after Our
Lady of the Rosary was built and certainly as a meeting hall for
the Band. It burned down in 1934.
