Church history

Paragraph that details some of the information about this church.
In 1904 nineteen Trappistine nuns journeyed from Vaise, France, to Rogersville, NB, to found a new monastery. Anticlerical laws at this time in France made it impossible to remain where they were; an invitation from Father Marcel-Francois Richard to come to Rogersville was accepted.<br /> <br /> On June 6, 1904 they moved into their new home, a farm house on the McCaie property they had purchased. In 1922 a chapel was built and in 1927 the priory, as it was now called, was raised to an abbey. The first abbess was mother Josephe Bariault who remained abbess until 1939; she served again from 1948-1960.<br /> <br /> These nuns had many struggles in the early years but they persevered. They attracted many women to their abbey from the area, from throughtout NB, Canada and the USA.<br /> <br /> The abbey, as we see it today, was built in 1950 and the woman’s retreat house in 1970.<br /> <br />
