History
Established in 1817
First church: 1861
First parish priest: 1889
In 1918, Mr. John Armour was the first resident to receive a request for a plot of land in Notre-Dame, and he settled there six years later.
Pierre and François Bourque, two brothers from the Beaumont family of Memramcook parish, were the first Acadian settlers to arrive around 1851. They were followed by the elder Laurent LeBlanc of Fox Creek and Pierrot LeBlanc of Memramcook. They called the place "The Upper River of Plenty" while others referred to it as "French Irishtown." In 1866, the post office was called Scovil’s Mill, and in 1901, it was renamed Notre-Dame.
Construction of the first chapel began around 1861. It was destroyed by a strong wind before it was completed. In 1866, the first church was dedicated to Saint Peter; it was served by the parish priest of Cocagne, Father Jean-Marie Vanier. With the arrival of Father Honoré Ouellet, the first resident priest from 1899 to 1897, the parish was dedicated to Saint Agatha.
A new church was built, and in 1909, Bishop Timothy Casey of St. John, New Brunswick, blessed it under the title of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. It burned down on July 30, 1945.
Construction of the current church, under the supervision of Father Emery Doucet, began in 1950 and was completed in May 1951. Bishop Robichaud blessed it in 1951. It was consecrated by Bishop Chiasson on July 7, 1985.
