Of the two hundred or more families in the parish, all but a dozen or so families belong to the Roman Catholic Church. These others belong either to the Presbyterian or Church of England and every other Sunday,they have services in the late P.C. Bosdet's residence -- being held by the resident Church of England minister of Arichat.
Soon after, a Jerseyman, Mr. Peter Bosdet, started a fishing and grocery business at Bosdet's Point which, at his death, was left to one of his sons, Peter Cline. The latter successfully managed it until three years ago when he suddenly died leaving his property to two young children under the direction of Mr. C.P. Lelacheur. The business is beautifully located to the best accommodation of the fishermen and opposite the government wharf. Besides managing P.C. Bosdet's business, Mr. Lelacheur holds the office of Customs and the Telephone Office.
