There has been an annual mission on Mniku since 1742 making it the longest continuous mission in Canada! The present church on the island is the sixth church, the fifth one burned down on December 11, 1976. The annual St. Ann’s Mission to Mniku takes place every year beginning the 20th of July. First Nations people all over North America and tourists alike travel to Chapel Island to take part in these sacred events.
