St. Alphonse du Liguori - The church was built in 1922. Several years later, a replica of the Notre Dame de Lourdes grotto was built in the church. The church is located at the crest of a hill along Highway/Route 1 and the cemetery is located directly behind the church.

Augustin Guedry, and his wife, Marie Jonson, founded Cheticamp, what is today the community of Saint-Alphonse, in 1787. Augustin was the only Guedry to avoid deportation of the Acadians, between 1955 and 1763. He lived amongst the Mi'kmaq and emerged from in 1763 and settled at Hobb's Hill near Gilbert's Cove where he fished and farmed until 1787.
