In September of 1867, Father Louis Napoleon St. Onge, a Diocesan priest, and Brother John Baptist Boulet re-established the Saint Joseph Mission after it was destroyed by U.S. soldiers who had accused Catholic priests of conspiring to aid rebellious Yakima Indians. The mission was founded in 1852 in the Yakima Valley of Washington. St. Onge was born in 1842 and died in 1901.
