Also see . . . The Ste Luce Church Registers: The Fr. Henri Dionne years, 1843-1860. The origins of the parish of Ste. Luce go back to 1826, when a chapel was built on the location of today's church building. At that time, the entire Madawaska area on both sides of the St. John (from today's Allagash to today's Van Buren and St. Leonard) was in the parish of St. Basile. In 1843 Father Dionne established the new independent parish of Ste. Luce and was its first pastor. He also oversaw the construction of the original church structure, built that same year.
