St Raphaels ruins

St. Raphael's was founded by Reverend Alexander Macdonell in 1786. It was officially recognized as a parish in 1802.

The magnificent stone church was built by his successor, also named Reverend Alexander Macdonell (later Bishop), in 1821.

St. Raphael's was regarded as a significant landmark and actively served the community until 1970, when it was destroyed by a devastating fire.
