Dom Marie-Antoine Oger OCSO, as was requested by the Quebec government and the bishops of Quebec and Chicoutimi, to make this foundation at the mouth of Mistassibi and Mistassini Rivers. The common interest was to stop the French-Canadian emigration to the "states" by offering Trappist clearing and colonize the north of Lac-Saint-Jean. The challenge was arduous; was proposed to be the pioneers Trappists in a corner still unorganized. The founders, who arrived at the scene after a journey of more than a week by train to Roberval, riding to Saint-Méthode, and canoe finally not going to stand idly by. Once the snow melts, they began to cut trees and prepare, with their rudimentary sawmill. By the Autumn of 1893, they built their first monastery. The small community was not only thriving, but the first settlers came quickly settle near the monastery. In 1895, the year of construction of the first parish church of Saint-Michel de Mistassini, the population had already reached the number of sixty-eight families with nearly four hundred people. In December 1897, even erecting the town hall. From the start, the monastery and its inhabitants were taken to act as "fac-totum" of the new colony; the chapel is found in the building for Sunday Mass, the post office, general store, close the saw and grist mills. Very quickly the monks took care also ranching and making butter and cheese. All implied heavy investments by the monks and the ability to pay for services from the arrivals. Having achieved financial independence, monastic foundation Mistassini was therefore erected in the priory holder on January 1, 1904. On February 10, following the monks elected Dom Pacôme Gaboury holder prior; he would remain in the position until October 1913, date of his election as abbot at Oka. In 1931, the General Chapter, which was held at Citeaux , voted the erection of the priory into an abbey. The thriving community then counted seventy religious. On October 9th, the Chapter elected him Dom Francis Xavier, the first abbot of Notre-Dame of Mistassini. On July 8, 1942, on the feast of Blessed Eugene III, Cistercian pope, Mistassini Notre Dame celebrated the anniversary of its founding by the dedication of his church. In 1911, Dom Pacôme Gaboury had raised a first wing of the monastery, the central wing. From 1930 to 1932, Dom Francis Xavier Huet had presided over the construction of the west wing; then from 1934 to 1938, the church. Celebrations were meant first of all those north of Lac-Saint-Jean. For fifty years, the Trappists had turned wild desert that had been entrusted to them in a farm admired the surrounding population. Seven communities had sprung up around the monastery. The entire population of the region was therefore came to celebrate and bear witness to their affection for Trappists. On October 25, 1980, the community inaugurated its new monastery, located about 5 kilometers north of the property. The new monastery was soon proved too small and especially the chapel. The church was prematurely opened June 17, 1992 for the funeral of Dom Armand Belcourt. The church, in the form of "A", a respectable size for both the monastic liturgy for the faithful who come to participate in the liturgies of the monks.
