The mission of Big Valley was founded in 1916 by the Priests of St. Marie de Tinchebray. In 1917 the church was built and it was blessed and dedicated to Our Lady of Peace by Archbishop Legal on June 30, 1918. In the first years of the mission, monthly trips to this mission where made by Father Leconte, Father Renut, and Father Bazin. Between 1917 and 1924 Father Anciaux was the resident priests at Big Valley, however in 1924 Big Valley became a mission served from Stettler and remained a mission until 1928 when it, once again had a resident priest.
