About this organization
Today some people worry about the scarcity of priests to serve our Island parishes. For a number of years, we were lucky if we had even one priest to serve the whole Island. There were no priests available for the years 1758-1772 and 1785-1790.
Rustico had a small church dedicated to St. Augustine as far back as the 1790's. Even when a priest resided in their midst, the time spent with his flock was very limited due to his commitments in other parts of the Island. Rustico was a favorite spot of Bishop Bernard MacDonald, successor of Bishop A.B. MacEachern. It was in 1838 during his time at Rustico that the present church at South Rustico was built. During the time of Bishop Bernard the number of priests increased, the workload gradually became lighter so that in 1859, Father Belcourt was given the care of only Rustico and Hope River which until 1843
had been part of the parish of Rustico
