Bishop [[George Errington (bishop)|George Errington]] founded [[St Boniface's Catholic College]], Plymouth in 1856. The school celebrates Saint Boniface on 5 June each year.

In 1818, Father [[Norbert Provencher]] founded a mission on the east bank of the [[Red River of the North|Red River]] in what was then [[Rupert's Land]], building a log church and naming it after St. Boniface. The log church was consecrated as [[Saint Boniface Cathedral]] after Provencher was himself consecrated as a bishop and the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Boniface|diocese]] was formed. The community that grew around the cathedral eventually became the city of [[Saint Boniface, Winnipeg|Saint Boniface]], which merged into the city of [[Winnipeg]] in 1971. In 1844, four [[Grey Nuns]] arrived by canoe in Manitoba, and in 1871, built Western Canada's first hospital: [[St. Boniface General Hospital (Winnipeg)|St. Boniface Hospital]], where the Assiniboine and Red Rivers meet. Today, St. Boniface is regarded as Winnipeg's main French-speaking district and the centre of the [[Franco-Manitobain]] community, and St. Boniface Hospital is the second-largest hospital in Manitoba.
