Longtemps avant l’édification de cette chapelle, des familles innues du Nitassinan et d’autres Premières Nations fréquentent ce lieu d’échange. Le bâtiment en pièce sur pièce et en grosse charpente, érigé de 1747 à 1750, est un exemple unique au Canada des églises de mission en bois de la Nouvelle-France. Témoignant de la relation étroite entre le commerce des fourrures et la diffusion du christianisme par les Jésuites, l’église est intimement liée à l’évangélisation des Innus du Domaine du Roi. Au milieu du XIXe siècle, des pères et des frères oblats poursuivent ici l’œuvre missionnaire auprès de la population autochtone.
Long before the building of this chapel, First Nations including Innu families from Nitassinan frequented this gathering place. This structure of timber framing and log construction, built between 1747 and 1750, is a unique example in Canada of the wooden mission churches of New France. The church, which is intimately associated with the evangelization of the Innu of the Domaine du Roi, evokes the close relationship between the fur trade and the missionary work of the Jesuits. In the 19th century, Oblate fathers and brothers continued missionary work with the Indigenous population at this site.
