The function of the Soeurs de Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice is to provide charitable work while spreading Catholicism.

Les Soeurs de Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice are a Catholic women religious congregation. In 1920, Bishop François-Xavier Brunet, who became bishop of the newly formed Diocese of Mont Laurier in 1913, invited the sisters who had recently left the Sisters of Saint Martha of St. Hyacinthe to meet the needs of his new diocese. These sisters were canonically recognized in 1921 as Les Soeurs de Notre-Dame de Mont Laurier, but after Brunet passed away in 1922, his successor refused to recognize the sisters. The Mother Superior and the bishop debated for several years before the Vatican sided with the bishop and expelled the sisters from the diocese. Following their exile, Bishop Louis Rhéaume of the Diocese of Haileybury offered to taken in the sisters, who accepted his offer and changed their name to Les Soeurs de Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice in 1937.

During the Residential School System, the sisters worked with the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in the administration of Sept-Îles Residential School. The sisters worked as teachers in this school, while the Oblates worked as principals and administrators. After the sisters were named as one of the Catholic entities in the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA), they worked with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada to provide relevant documents documenting their role in the Residential School System.
