    In July, 1977, St. Joachim's Parish, Vernon River celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the building of the present church. To appreciate fully the significance of this centennial, one must look to the past to see what has been accomplished. The history of the parish through the years from the construction of the first log church in Waterside in 1804 until the completion of the present-day majestic complex of structures is a rich one indeed. The original settlers of Vernon River were of different nationalities. The Irish families of the area came principally from County Monaghan, and, prior to their taking up land in Vernon River, had located in Fort Augustus. Later, they were joined by immigrants from the southern counties of Ireland. The Scottish portion of the parishioners came to Vernon River from Lots 35 and 36, the lands owned by Captain John MacDonald the, former Laird of Glenaladale, Scotland, who had brought over 200 immigrants to his vast holdings. Many of these, dissatisfied with the feudal system of land tenure which he championed, moved to Vernon River where slightly more liberal conditions prevailed. Some of the first settlers were: John Hayley, Martin Keoughan, Edward Morrissey, Roderick McNeil, Donald MacMillan, Alexander MacDonald (Doctor), Angus MacDonald, Hugh Fraser, Roderick Maclsaac, John McInnis...(Al Beagan's "Genealogy Notes" Family Histories)
