  • St. Boniface Cathedral
    190 AVENUE DE LA CATHÉDRALE ST. BONIFACE CATHEDRAL City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings Committee September 2012 190 AVENUE DE LA CATHÉDRALE – ST. BONIFACE CATHEDRAL The bells of the Roman mission That call from the turrets twain To the boatmen on the river The hunter on the plain The voyageur smiles as he listens To the sound that grows apace, Well he knows the vesper ringing Of the bells of St Boniface Excerpt from “The Red River Voyageur” by American poet John G. Whittier (1859) The founding of a Roman Catholic mission on the east side of the Red River near the meeting of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in 1818 by Bishop Provencher was the first step in the establishment of the Francophone settlement of St. Boniface, the centre of the French culture and religion on the Western prairies. The new mission, established for the Métis and First Nations bands that lived or traded near the confluence of the area’s two major rivers, was named for a sainted German missionary, St. Boniface (675-754), and gradually expanded with the arrival of other priests and sisters, including the Sisters of Charity of Montréal, the Grey Nuns, who arrived in 1844. The various orders established churches, schools, and hospitals, all among the earliest in the West. The Roman Catholic Church hierarchy, especially Bishop Taché, worked to attract French-speaking Catholic businessmen and intellects from Eastern Canada to support the new settlement and firmly establish the Francophone culture. St. Boniface was incorporated as a Town 1883 and a City in 1908 and has, because of this early history, developed separately and uniquely from the larger City of Winnipeg to the north and west.
