On the Feast of All Saint’s Day, November 1, 1841, a small log chapel was dedicated on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi river. At the time the chapel was built, there were only a few
French Canadian families living in the area. Little did these early settlers know that
this little chapel would become a cathedral, a school, a hospital, and would be the
inspiration and beginning of a city that would adopt its name and become the capital
of the State of Minnesota.
This event will honor the French Canadian settlers who built this chapel and
formed the nucleus of the city of St Paul.
