The Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith was established as the Apostolic Vicariate of Mackenzie in 1901 from the northern portions of the Apostolic Vicariate of Athabasca-Mackenzie (now the Diocese of Gruoard-McLennan). Before Athabasca-Mackenzie was established in 1862, the Mackenzie River region was part of the Diocese of Saint Boniface (now the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface). In 1908, the future Diocese had its Yukon and northern British Columbia area transferred to the newly created Apostolic Vicariate of Yukon-Prince Rupert (now the Dioceses of Whitehorse and Prince George, respectively). In 1967, the Apostolic Vicariate of Mackenzie became the Diocese of Macknezie-Fort Smith. The Diocese’s current area consists of the Northwest Territories, western Nunavut and northern border regions of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
