History
Established around 1820
First church: 1874
First parish priest: 1895
The word "Aboujagane" originates from the Mi'kmaq word "Naboushagan," meaning ravine or, according to others, "string of beads," referring to the welcoming nature of the Indigenous people who offered necklaces made of animal fangs or plant seeds.
The first settler of Haute-Aboujagane, in 1831, was Étienne LeBlanc from Saint-Anselme. He was followed by other settlers from Memramcook. Around 1850, a small chapel was built in Kachibougouet (Cormier Village).
The construction of the first church was completed in 1874.
This mission, served by priests of the Congregation of Holy Cross of Barachois, became a parish in 1895 and welcomed its first resident priest.
This church was restored in 1911 and renovated in 2003.
