Eglise de Saint-Jean-Baptiste History

Paroisse Saint-Jean-Baptiste / Bouctouche

Établie en 1785 Première église: 1800 Premier curé: 1839 Bouctouche fut de temps immémorial le lieu d’un peuplement mi’kmaq. Le toponyme initial Chebouctou signifie le « grand petit havre ». Pieusement, le 24 juin 1784, les Acadiens Charlitte et François LeBlanc gravent une croix sur un pin en pleine nature bouctouchoise. Partis de Memramcook six jours plus tôt, ils décident alors de revenir s’établir définitivement aux abords de la baie de Bouctouche l’année suivante. Ainsi naît la paroisse Saint-Jean-Baptiste en ce jour dédié au Précurseur du Christ. Aux Mi’kmaqs s’ajoutent graduellement une population acadienne et un certain nombre de familles anglaises, écossaises et irlandaises dont les premières sont arrivées à la fin du 18e siècle. De 1800 à 1839, six prêtres successifs font régulièrement le trajet depuis l’église mère de Richibouctou-Village jusqu’à Bouctouche afin d’y célébrer les sacrements. Le Père Julien Rioux, premier curé résidant, arrive en 1839 et occupe cette fonction jusqu’en 1854. Pendant sa cure, la chapelle en rondin, datant de 1800, est remplacée par une église mieux construite et plus spacieuse. Plus tard, de concert avec ses paroissiens, le Père Joseph Michaud fonde le couvent de l’Immaculée-Conception en 1880 et il édifie une majestueuse église néo-gothique, anéantie par les flammes en 1921. Il a été subséquemment décidé de construire la nouvelle église au centre du village plutôt que sur la Pointe-à-Jacquot. Mgr Philippe Hébert fait construire le « soubassement » en 1926 et Mgr Désiré Allain, curé de 1940 à 1967, fait ériger l’église actuelle en 1954. Le couvent, une des grandes maisons d’éducation en Acadie, a fait l’objet d’une restauration complète et est devenu le Musée de Kent en 1977. Quant à l’ancien presbytère de la pointe, il a logé une maison diocésaine de retraites fermées de 1924 à 1969. L’édifice est aujourd’hui une auberge raffinée. Un des principaux exemples qu’ait inspiré le style Dom Bellot au Canada, l’église Saint-Jean-Baptiste se distingue notamment par son riche ameublement de marbre, ses vitraux et son splendide carillon.

De toutes les manifestations qui ont eu lieu à Bouctouche, le grand congrès marial diocésain de 1947 est digne de mention ayant rassemblé près de 20,000 fidèles à la seule cérémonie de clôture.

Saint-Jean-Baptiste parish / Bouctouche

Established in 1785 First church: 1800 First priest: 1839

Bouctouche owes its name to its first inhabitants, the Micmacs, who named their campground Chebouctou ‘Chebooktoosk’ which means « large little harbour ». The region, as well as Bouctouche itself, are part of two seigniories conceded to the Sieur de Chauffours in 1684 and to the Sieur du Plessis, naval treasurer, in 1696. However, the First Nations were the only inhabitants of Bouctouche until 1785 when the first Acadian families from Memramcook came to settle here. These families built a wooden chapel around 1800. Later, Fr. Julien Rioux, first resident priest (1839-1854) would have the first church built at Pointe-à-Jacquot. The wooden belltower was topped by a wrought iron cross. The Immaculate Conception Convent opened its doors in 1880. Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Coeur nuns made it one of the great teaching institutions in Acadie beginning in 1924. It was completely renovated after its closing and became a museum. While the convent was being built, the parish also built a majestic neo-gothic style church with construction ending in 1898. Fire would destroy this church on December 18, 1921. Most Rev. Philippe Hébert, priest from 1923 to 1940, laid the foundations for the new church. From 1926 until 1954, parishioners celebrated mass in the basement of the present church which is situated in the heart of the village on Irving Boulevard. The sumptuous home built by Archibald Irving would become the new rectory and the old rectory would be transformed into a diocesan retreat house which would close its doors in 1929. Most Rev. Désiré Allain, parish priest from 1940 to 1967, would see to the construction of the present church. A diocesan Marian congress was held in Bouctouche from August 14th to the 17th, 1947, with close to 20,000 people attending the closing ceremonies.

The power of Christian prayer Abide in my heart
Come, Lord Jesus, and abide in my heart. How grateful I am to realize that the answer to my prayer does not depend on me at all. As I quietly abide in You and let Your life flow into me, what freedom it is to know that the Father does not see my threadbare patience or insufficient trust, rather only Your patience, Lord, and Your confidence that the Father has everything in hand. In Your faith I thank You right now for a more glorious answer to my prayer than I can imagine. Amen.
