L'?glise Saint-Paul

{In English:}
The oldest surviving mission church in the Vancouver area has long been a focal point of the Mission Reserve. Chief Snat, a renowned Squamish leader, assisted by the Oblate missionaries, was largely responsible for building the first church here in 1868 and for securing this land as a reserve in the following year. In 1884 the early chapel was replaced by the present structure and in 1910 corner towers and transepts were added. The church is named in tribute to Bishop Paul Durieu, a distinguished Oblate missionary who lived and worked among the Squamish people.

{In French:}
Cette ?glise, la plus ancienne de la r?gion de Vancouver, fut longtemps le coeur et l'?me de la Mission Reserve. C'est au chef squamish Snat, avec l'aide des missionaire Oblats, que reviennent la construction de une premi?re ?glise en 1868 et la cr?ation de une rerve l'ann?e suivante. En 1884, les Squamish remplacer?nt le vieille ?glise par celle-ci, a la-quelle on ajouta en 1910 des tours d'angle et un transept. Elle re?u le patronyme de Saint-Paul en l'honneur de Monseignor Paul Durieu, qui ve?ut et oeuvra comme missionaire au sein de la mission squamish.
