Religion is an important part of life for the people of LaPoile. The village is so remote that a priest arrives with the ferry only once a month.
For generations, families in fishing communities have survived of the bounties of the ocean. The family trade was passed from father to son. Now it is a way of life that has all but vanished. With the government ban there are no jobs, and only a few fishing communities remain.
