"Coderre St. Charles Roman Catholic
In 1910, the settlers from North Dakota were organized in the area. Church services were held in Messers. L de Courval and Philias Desnoyer's home, which served as a chapel. In August 1913 a rectory was built and served as a chapel until the church was completed that December. And as with many of the settled sites, CPR dictates a move of buildings with the hauling of the church and rectory in 1925. The lots for building were donated by the CPR and a gift offering in the amount of $500.00. Since 1950 the Coderre parish priest has Courval as a mission.
Up until 1925 Coderre was one parish with Courval. It is presently a mission point from Hodgeville."
The appearance of the building has changed somewhat since 1913, but it remains quite striking in its well treed setting. The older picture in the gallery was also taken from the VMC site.
