REV . ALEXANDER MACAULAY 1903-1912 A native of St. Peter 's Parish, he studied at College and at the Seminary of Quebec . He was ordained in Montreal on June 5th, 1890. At first he was Assistant at Cathedral and Secretary to the Bishop. He served later as Pastor at Morell . In 1903 he was appointed Pastor at Hope River . In 1913 he became Pastor at St. Peter 's. While at Hope River , Father MacAulay proceeded in 1911 to con¬ struct a cement block church which was a magnificent Romanesque church. Unfortunately, it was not a success, probably because of the rig¬ ors of our climate. After many attempts to repair it, the church was finally torn down in the early 1950's to make way for the present church - the seventh church to be constructed in Hope River . With all the fires and the difficulties caused by the 1911 church, Bishop O'Sullivan (1931-1944) made the famous remark that the place should not be called Hope River but "". This comment did not go over too well, as can be imagined; nor should it have. The parish¬ ioners felt vindicated when he apologized during a pastoral visit in 1938. REV . JEAN ARTHUR GAUDET 1913-1921 Father Gaudet was born at Leoville , near Tignish , on July 3, 1871. He was educated at College and the Grand Seminary of Quebec . He was ordained July 10, 1904 at Charlottetown . He was assis¬ tant priest at Charlottetown for four years. He served as Pastor of Iona for five years and in 1913 became Pastor at Hope River . From 1921-40 he was Pastor at Bloomfield and was Pastor at until he retired in 1942. He was the son of Arcade Gaudet and Marie Chaisson. He was noted for being a good musician. His younger brother, Roch Gaudet , just recently died at the age of 104. Thus Father Gaudet is the grand uncle of the famous paraplegic Gloria Ellsworth who lives near Profits' Corner. 97
