The mission was moved to this site in 1863 and a presbytery was constructed by the Oblates who had commenced missionary work in the region in 1844. A second presbytery was built here in 1867. The Grey Sisters of Ottawa, who had arrived the previous year, then established the first hospital of the Timiskaming District in the old presbytery. In 1878 a frame church, known as St. Claude’s, was completed. However, in 1887 the mission was moved to the growing agricultural settlement of Ville Marie in Quebec. ontarioplaques.com/Plaques/Plaque_Timiskaming01.html |
