The function of the Soeurs Missionaires du Christ-Roi is to administer missions within its jurisdictions.

The Soeurs Missionaires du Christ-Roi was founded in October 1928 in Quebec. They received their blessing from the Bishop of Gaspé and Rome approved the foundation of the new congregation in 1930. The Missionary Sisters were requested from the Bishop of the Diocese of Nelson to assist in the management of Japanese internment camps during the Second World War and subsequently established their first Canadian mission outside of Quebec. Following the Second World War, the Missionary Sisters stayed in British Columbia and accepted a mission in Anahim Lake in 1956.

The Soeurs Missionaires du Christ-Roi were responsible for the supervision of the Anahim Lake Dormitory from 1960-1969. The Missionary Sisters, alongside the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, supervised the students. In 1969 the principal was appointed to take on the role of administrator of the school and dormitory.

During the 1990s, the public became more aware of the impacts of residential schools. This led to an increase in litigation against the Government of Canada, which culminated in the creation of the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA) in 2006. IRSSA outlined the process by which residential school litigation was carried out in addition to creating the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). As part of their obligations under IRSSA, the Sisters have provided copies of all documentation relating to the Residential School System and the Church’s involvement.
