ST. MARGARET'S ( St. Margaret of Scotland ) Scottish SETTLERS came to the Naufrage (shipwreck) area in the 1770s and already there were forty families when they built their first log chapel there in 1805. A second church followed in 1816 which with additions served the needs of the parishioners for the next forty years. In 1857 the people erected a new and quite imposing church on high land overlooking the Gulf to accommodate the still growing Catholic population. The first parochial house was built in 1840 and replaced by a new one in 1878. In 1894, with the population moving farther back from the shore, the church and other buildings were moved about a mile south to where they stand today. Tragedy struck the parish in 1921 when a forest fire destroyed the church, parochial house and all the other buildings except the hall which became the temporary home for the pastor and a place for worship. Strangely, this burning took place on the patronal feast of the parish, St. Margaret of Scotland . Out of these ashes a new parochial house was built in 1922 and a new and impressive church in 1926. Both of these stand there today and come as a surprise to those travelling that generally wooded area. The rugged Gulf of St. Lawrence skirts the parish's north side, providing superb summer scenery and a bounteous harvest offish for the heavy boat traffic out of Naufrage Harbour . Approximately 90 families constitute St. Margaret 's Parish today. The parish priest lives there and provides pastoral care as well to nearby Fairfield and St. Charles parishes.
