St. Bartholomew's Roman Catholic Church closed in 2018. It was founded in the 1820's when 60 families migrated to the area along what was then known as "Emigrant Road." The original church, a log cabin, was built on the farm of John Roach and was located at the site of the present cemetery. It was destroyed by fire and for 10 years the congregation met at the home of John Carroll. In 1902 the current church was built. Until 1907, the church was a mission of Cap-Pele, then after, Middle Sackville. In 2000, it became part of the St. Bernard's (Moncton) and St. Vincent (Sackville) Pastoral Unit. From the 1920s through the 1950s, the church was known for its turkey suppers and then from the mid 1970s until 2000, its turkey suppers attracted hundreds.
