Fort William Mission
The Fort William Mission was a Jesuit mission at Fort William that ran Thunder Bay's earliest schools.[1]
Father Pierre Chone taught children there from about 1851, the Daughters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary arrived in 1870 to open a school and orphanage, and Father John Blettner died there in 1882.[2]
