Basilian Fathers Museum Our History - Basilians

Scores of faithful attended the first church service at the Beaver Lake mission on July 12, 1903—the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. Father Platonid Filias celebrated mass in the Basilians’ first home, which did not yet have doors, windows or a floor. When this building was completed, it served as the mission chapel, school and living quarters.

A larger chapel was built later. In 1987, it was moved to Mundare and now forms part of the museum complex.
