Institutionele geschiedenis
St. Albert Parish was founded as a mission in 1861 by Fr. Albert Lacombe, Oblate priest and missionary and Bishop Alexandre-Antonin Taché of St. Boniface. Father Lacombe, along with the Métis community, built a wooden chapel that still stands to this day.
In 1865, Fathers Tissot and André took over the Mission when Father Lacombe left to found the St. Paul des Cris Mission. In 1868, Father Hippolyte Leduc took sole charge of the Mission. Shortly after, he received a message from Bishop Grandin, Coadjutor Bishop of St. Boniface, saying that St. Albert would be latter’s new residence. A home was quickly erected for the Bishop, in the new Vicariate Apostolic of St. Albert. By 1869, the announcement was made that St. Albert was to become a bishopric. A cathedral was built, and in 1871, St. Albert became the Episcopal See of the new Diocese of St. Albert.
On Nov. 30, 1912, the Diocese of St. Albert was raised to the status of Archdiocese of Edmonton and the Cathedral became St. Albert Parish and was eventually finished in the early 1920s.
