Description
The Catholic parish of Sainte-Luce was the third established in the Upper St. John Valley. The church served a predominantly rural population that consisted of parishioners of Acadian and French-Canadian descent. Father Thomas L. Bergeron, a native of Quebec, came to Frenchville in the early twentieth century. He was pastor for more than twenty years, during which a new rectory was built, and Frenchville experienced the effects of the railroad coming.
Father Bergeron's rectory was built in or around 1910. Other photographs in the Elroy and Rita Belanger Image Collection show fashions from the 1920s, which is likely when this picture was taken.
