Father Roue – St. Francis Xavier Church, Sturgeon Lake in a letter to Stephen Moses,
Letter
It was in the beginning of winter of 1914 that the construction of the church was decided.; it was needed to replace the first church which had become too small for the growing population. Father Joseph Habay was then in charge of the Mission; he obtained the services of Brother Mathias, then in residence at Wabasca for the construction of the new church. Brother Mathias was a good carpenter and was put immediately in charge of the project. As soon as the lake was frozen, Bother Mathias with the help of some Indians began cutting the trees at the north side of the lake where there was plenty of healthy spruce trees. A little later the logs were hauled on horse driven sleighs and toward spring everything was ready for the construction to start. It was an all-log building, hewn logs, dovetailed, each log held firmly in to the next one by wooded pegs. All went will since on December 3, 1915, the feast day of St. Francis-Xavier, the church was bless by Fr. J. Habay and opened for public religious service. Cement was not easy to find in those days: the building reposed practically on the ground with some large flat stones at the corner. Later on, in the late 1920’s or early 30’s the logs were covered with drop sidings in the outside and planed boards in the inside of the building. Some time also in the 30’s digging was made under part of the church in order to install a wood furnace with a blower. It was found that some of the logs at the base had suffered from rot, not enough to endanger the solidity of the building. In the summer of 1954 the church was raised to put a concrete foundation under it … Unfortunately, the concrete was reinforced by steel rods, and after a few more years cracks appeared in the foundation, and this has been getting worse in certain places. This is only a partial basement and in the middle of it stands the furnace heating the church. The dirt contained by a low cement wall is being pushed toward the centre where the furnace stands and it is likely that some day will go over and reach the furnace. In recent years some work was done to consolidate the floor and the whole building, it was also repainted entirely outside and inside. -Father Roue – St. Francis Xavier Church, Sturgeon Lake in a letter to Stephen Moses.

Old Indian Residential School To Become Farmer’s Barns, Jun 19, 1962
Newspaper clipping
“Old Indian Residential School To Become Farmer’s Barns” (From “The Edmonton Journal,” June 19, 1962) VALLEYVIEW—A major link with Sturgeon Lake’s historic past is fast disappearing: The Roman Catholic Indian Residential School is being demolished because of a change in federal Indian affairs policies. A modern four-room school has been erected by the federal government within a stone’s thrown of the site of the former school building. The new structure looks out of place against the backdrop of mission-type buildings. The government believes the time has come to have all Cree Indian children at Sturgeon Lake live at home and attend school as day-scholars. The roof of the large residential school building has been removed and the interior gutted; only the windowless walls remain and the structure has been cut into two sections so it can be moved from mission property. The sections have been purchased by a district farmer, and will become two large barns. MIXED REACTION The reaction of Sturgeon Lake Indians to the change in federal school policy is mixed. The members of the tribe who have taken up farming and a changed way of life, believe the new arrangement is a step in the right direction. However, those Cree who still make their living by other means: hunting, trapping and working on distant oil pipeline projects, appear to be in the majority, and they are extremely skeptical of the new educational setup. Prior to the closing of the old school about two months ago, Indian students resided at the mission during the week and were well cared for by the Sisters there. Weekends were spent at home. Should a student’s parents be absent from home while the father was employed on some distant project, the Sisters would care for such students until the parents returned. These people appear to believe that the Indian Affairs Branch should have pursued a different course than the one followed, in the matter of schooling. They point out that a small day-school could have been constructed for the use of those desiring this type of facility, while the residential school should have continued to operate for the use of the large number of Cree children whose parents desired such an arrangement. ESTABLISHED 1907 The residential school and mission was first established in 1907, opening during the fall of that year. Father Joseph Dupin, O.M.I. was the first priest to visit the Cree at Sturgeon Lake, making the journey there from Lesser Slave Lake village—now Grouard—in January 1884 by dog-team. Rev. Nicholas Roue, now in charge of the Roman Catholic mission at Sturgeon, when interviewed, was perturbed by the turn of events. He said the five Sisters at the mission will be transferred from Sturgeon to other points. The future of the convent building has not yet been decided. The Indian Affairs Branch has been offered the building, at a fraction of its actual value, for possible use as a home for aged or chronically-ill Indians, or some such purpose, but so far, that federal authority has shown no sign of being interested.
