History:
Established in 1860 by Bishop Vital Grandin, the Oblate Fathers supervised the operation of this cemetery until 1975, when it was handed over to the Archdiocese of Edmonton. The Oblate Fathers retained a section of the cemetery for their own burial space.
The first recorded burial in the cemetery was 10 year old Marguerite, daughter of Raminakus, on June 1, 1861, presided over by Father Albert Lacombe. Although many were interred in the cemetery during its first thirty years, including over three hundred victims of the 1870-71 smallpox epidemic, there are few memorials which predate 1890.
