The Catholic Church in Western Canada is celebrating 200 years of history. Its roots are found in Saint Boniface, in Manitoba, with the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries. The land, which was first inhabited by the First Nations, attracted explorers, fur traders, Métis, and settlers from Eastern Canada and Europe. The first bishop of Saint Boniface, Joseph-Norbert Provencher, established the first mission in 1818 where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet. The Cathedral, which was erected later, is considered the Mother Church of Western Canada. Salt + Light Television will be on the ground to cover the events of this important jubilee.
