The Pères Montfortains are a missionary Catholic congregation dedicated to working with the poor and spreading Catholicism. The congregation started by Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort in France in 1712 to work with and evangelize the poor. While Montfort passed away in 1716, his successors conducted several additional missions throughout France. The congregation was canonically approved in 1853 and in 1883 the Montfort Missionaries arrived in Canada where they established several scholasticate, novitiates, and mission schools.

During the Residential School System, the Montfort Missionaries replaced the Diocese of Victoria in the administration of Kuper Island Residential School in 1907, where they remained until 1957. After the congregation was named in the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA), they worked with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) to supply documents about the Montfort Missionaries involvement in the Residential School System.
