Dr. J.R. Vilatte, Bishop of the Christian Catholic Church, bought a piece of land in Ontario in the month of June 1898. It was on Baie Desjardins (now Gawas Bay) on St. Joseph Island, County of Algoma. A mission was established there and the Mission House (called the Red House) was inaugurated in 1900. Assisting Bishop Vilatte were in succession: W.E. Oppen, G. Reader, Jean De Bromont and Gustave Painchaud.
The ministry was extended to Eastern Ontario in the 1970s and a congregation was built in Orleans (Gloucester) in 1988. It was first attached to the Christian Catholic Parish in Hull and pastored by the priests from Hull. It is now under the direct care of the Bishop. Headquarters are located in Ottawa.

Mgr J.R. Vilatte, premier évêque des catholiques-chrétiens, a acheté un terrain en Ontario à l'été de 1898. Il a établi sur le Baie Desjardins (maintenant Gawas Bay) un première mission dédiée à Notre-Dame du Lac. Le centre, fonctionnel en 1900, comprenait 7-8 pièces, incluant chapelle et séminaire pour la formation du clergé. Les gens du lieu l'appelaient le Red House à cause de la couleur rouge des briques. Ont assisté Mgr Vilatte les missionnaires Carl Oppen, Claude Reader, Jean de Bromont et Gustave Painchaud.
La pastorale s'est étendue dans les années 70 dans l'Est ontarien, avec centre à Orléans en 1988, desservi depuis la Paroisse catholique-chrétienne de Hull (St-Bernard et St-Grégoire). Le secrétariat est à Ottawa.
