There are 139 'recognized' residential schools (recognized in the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement and a few added later). 21 were non-denominational. Of the remaining 118:
The Catholic Church ran 63, and took over one of the ones previously run by the United Church.
The Anglican Church ran 35 of them.
The United Church ran 10, and took over an additional four from the Presbyterians and two from the Methodists (incl. the one taken over by the Catholics).
The Presbyterians ran 7 at one time or another (incl. the aforementioned).
The Mennonites ran three, the Baptists ran one.
So no, the protestant churches did not run more of them than the Catholic Church did.
