FOUNDED IN CHRIST
The Catholic Church formally established its presence in New Westminster in 1860. In September of that year, Fr. Leon Fouquet OMI arrived to establish St. Peter’s Parish as part of the St. Charles mission encompassing much of the Fraser Valley from the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Accompanying Fr. Fouquet was Fr. Charles Grandidier OMI, Brother George Blanchet OMI and Brother Gaspar Janin OMI.
