In 1861, Father Albert Lacombe and his Metis helpers constructed a log building to serve the new St. Albert Roman Catholic Mission. This simple chapel, Alberta's oldest building, became the centre of the thriving French-speaking Metis settlement of St. Albert. Today the chapel has been restored to look much as it did in the early 1860s. Visit the crypt where Father Lacombe and Bishop Grandin are buried. Take a stroll through the cemetery, the resting place of some of St. Albert's first residents.
