ST. MARY'S BANK CREDIT UNION The first credit union in the U.S. was founded here in 1908, the inspiration of Monsignor Pierre Hevey, the pastor of Sainte-Marie Parish. Monsignor Hevey sought to improve the economic stability and independence of the French-speaking mill workers by giving them a safe and welcoming place to save and borrow money. Until 1913 the credit union was located here in the home of attorney Joseph Boivin. Its first president and manager. Initially open just evenings and holidays, the credit union grew to become one of the state's most stable financial institutions. 2007
