Historique
In 1852, Father Faraud arrived at Fort Resolution and built a mission house on Moose Deer Island. The mission was moved to the mainland site of Fort Resolution in 1890 and named St. Joseph’s mission. In April 1903, three grey nuns left Montreal to work at Fort Resolution. The nuns opened the school and orphanage in September 1903; however, another account states that a residential school was opened in 1867. The school was one of the largest mission schools in the North West Territories and was attended by children from the areas of Great Slave Lake and the Mackenzie River.
