(St. Simon and St . Jude's) Cette paroisse a vu le jour en 1799, alors que huit families acadiennes vinrent s'y etablir et, deux ans plus tard, y construisirent line petite eglise en rondins ores du rivage. From 1811 and continuing over the next thirty some years a goodly number | of Irish immigrants settled here. En 1826, on erigea une deuxieme eglise a environ un demi- / mille a l'ouest de la premiere. En 1859, on commenca la construction de la majestueuse eglise actuelle, en brique, qui fit l'objet d'une grandiose celebration d'inauguration l'annee d'ensuite. En 1882, on y installa le magnifique grand orgue de marque Mitchell. In 1868 the Sisters of Notre Dame arrived in the parish, moving into a large three- storey brick convent-school. The convent was sold in 1993 but the sisters still maintain a presence in the parish. The splendid service of this great Congregation of Notre Dame for well over a century is beyond measure. The present brick rectory was constructed in 1872 and in 1967 today's stylish parish centre opened its doors. One of the Tignish pastors, Father Peter Maclntyre , served as Bishop of Charlotretown for over thirty years. The parish also produced its own bishop, Leo Nelligan , who was Bishop of Pembroke , Ontario . Three parish natives served as Lieutenant Governor of P.E.I. : George Howlan , Charles Dalton and Joseph Bernard . Tignish produisit sont pro pre journal, l'lmpartial, entre 1893 et 1915. The Credit Union, Co-Op and Fisheries are among the institutions very active over the years. Today approximately 1000 families live in St. Simon and St . Jude's Parish which takes in the extreme end of the Island. The church remains the centre, visible for miles around the country and far out to sea.
