History

Established around 1800
First church: 1848
First parish priest: 1856

The Cap-Pelé region was settled between 1800 and 1825 by Acadian settlers—Brun, LeBlanc, and Doiron—who came from Ruisseau-des-Renards (Saint-Anselme).
The first mission of Saint Teresa of Avila in Chimougoui Bay (Shemogue) was transferred to Tidiche (Cap-Pelé) in 1826 when the chapel burned down. Later, Cap-Pelé was a mission served by the mother church of Barachois.
The Cap-Pelé church was built between 1845 and 1848 and served as a place of worship until 1965.
The missions of Port Elgin, Melrose, and Shemogue became independent at the beginning of the twentieth century, around 1916.
Cap-Pelé is a fishing village. It also has a number of fish weirs.
The current church dates from 1965.
