This community was founded in St.Boniface, Manitoba, by Archbishop Adélard Langevin O.M.I., on March 24^th, 1904. In the winter of 1918, four Missionary Oblates of the Sacred Heart and of Mary Immaculate arrived to lend a helping hand to Oblate Fathers who taught in the Collège. Never neglecting the domestic responsibilities of the Collège, the Oblate Sisters soon instructed special classes for the pupils who were either too young or less advanced to follow the regular classes of the Collège Catholique de Gravelbourg. These determined Oblate Sisters were dedicated to giving young boys, aged 6 to 12, an excellent Christian education and as well an opportunity for a solid preparation for the advanced classical or commercial studies offered at the Collège.

On September 15^th, 1920 the Oblate Sisters opened a Kindergarten dependant on the Collège. In 1929, the Oblate Fathers generously donated land near the present Our Lady of the Assumption Co-Cathedral, to the Oblate Sisters for the construction of the Jardin Notre-Dame. (Presently, Giesen Apartments.)

In 1932, the Oblate Sisters left the care of the Collège in the hands of the Regular Canonesses of the Five Wounds, allowing them to dedicate their complete attention to the undertaking of education for small boys.

This religious institution was maintained until 1964 and was left with no choice but to close its doors due to the diminution of students.

An estimated 1500 pupils had received a Christian formation within the Kindergarten walls. In his statement commenting on the closing of the Jardin Notre-Dame, Bishop Décosse stated: “The departure of the Oblate Sisters is the turning of an important page in the history of education in our midst.”
