The parish of St Francis Xavier was served by the parish priest of Granby from 1858 to 1859, the date of the nomination of the first resident parish priest and the start of the Parish Registers. The parish, which belonged to the diocese of Sherbrooke, was canonically erected on the 6th June1858.
The parish expanded when 52 families arrived to establish the future West Shefford. Ten years later a syndicate began the construction of the present church, which took place between 1889 and 1891.
On the 23rd and 24th of November 1996, two religious of Jesus and Mary went to Bromont to talk about Dina at the Saturday and Sunday Masses and a photograph of Blessed Dina Belanger is installed in the church.
