On January 14, 1861, Bishop Alexandre Taché and Father Albert Lacombe stood atop the hill where the St Albert Mission was to be established.
It is on top of this hill that the original Chapel and the St Albert Parish stands today. You can read more on the history of the St Albert Parish here.
More information on the founding and the history of St Albert can be found in the Pictorial History of St. Albert and the first volume of Black Robe's Vision.
- Details in Black Robe's Vision on the founding of the St Albert Mission starts on page 5.
- In December, Father Lacombe "reported that thirty lots had been taken and ten houses had been built". [BRV 20]
