Church of St. Ann

Roman Catholic Church, Tzouhalem Road, Duncan, British Columbia

Father Pierre Rondeault established a mission to the Cowichan Indians in 1858. In 1870 he built the old stone "Butter Church" on Comiaken Hill. But in 1890 he was forced to abandon that church and build St Ann's just down the road where the diocese had clear title to the land. The original St Ann's was destroyed by fire in 1902 and the current structure built in 1903. It continues to serve the Cowichans and more recent settlers in the Duncan area.

Father Rondeault died in 1900 after 41 years with the Cowichan. He is buried beneath the small chapel at the back of St Ann's.
