Bishop Jamot was the Catholic bishop who oversaw the Thunder Bay mission and the founding of separate schools at Port Arthur.[1]
He became Vicar Apostolic of Northern Canada in 1874 and Bishop of Peterborough in 1882, the diocese to which Port Arthur belonged into the early twentieth century; he came with Archbishop Lynch in 1881, said the first Mass in the rebuilt St. Andrew's Church, and returned almost every year for the school concert, closing exercises and Confirmation.[2]
