History
Established around 1792
First church: 1821
First parish priest: 1874
Saint-Charles Borromeo Parish was founded around 1800 at Pointe de l’Aldouane. In 1861, the site of Petite Aldouane was abandoned to divide the region into two sections, each with its own church – Richibouctou and the upper Aldouane River, where the current church, the second, stands.
This first, magnificent church burned down in 1922. A second church was built on the same site between 1922 and 1926.
In 1931, Norbert Robichaud, a native of the parish, was ordained a priest: he would become the second Archbishop of Moncton.
The parishioners of Saint-Charles are very proud of their church. This community relies on groups of volunteers who take turns cleaning the church, clearing snow, and maintaining the cemetery. The Saint-Charles community lives its faith daily and supports one another when challenges arise. Liturgies are carefully prepared, and volunteers meet with young people during Sunday Mass to explain the Gospel. Fraternity, hospitality, unifying projects, and the participation of young and old in Eucharistic celebrations allow us to continue our journey toward God.
