Bishop A. B. Mac Eachern
Angus Bernard MacEachern, a pioneer missionary, emigrated from Scotland in 1790. For forty-five years he ministered zealously to the people of Prince Edward Island, the Magdalen Islands, and to large sections of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Appointed suffragan to the Bishop of Quebec in 1819, he became, in 1829, the first Bishop of Charlottetown with jurisdiction over Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and the Magdalen Islands. He founded the Island's first institution of higher learning at St. Andrew's in 1831. This distinguished ecclesiastical and civil leader died in 1835.
Né en Ecosse, venu en 1790 à l'Île St. Jean (ci-après l'Île-du-Prince-Edouard), d'abord missionnaire, il desservit pendant quarante-cinq années les fidèles de l'Île, des Îles-de-la-Madeleine et de régions étendues de la Nouvelle-Ecosse et du Nouveau- Brunswick. Suffragant de l'évêque de Québec en 1819, il devint, en 1829, le premier évêque de Charlottetown. Sa juridiction s'étendit à l'Île-du-Prince-Edouard, au Nouveau-Brunswick et aux Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Il fonda, en 1831, la première institution d'enseignement supérieur à St. Andrew's. Il mourut en 1835.
