St. Alexis Roman Catholic Church in Rollo Bay was built in the 1930s. Declining attendance forced it to close in 2015.

Rollo Bay, previously Rollo's Bay or Lord Rollo's Bay, is named after Andrew Rollo, 5th Lord Rollo, who was a Scottish army commander in Canada and Dominica  during the Seven Years' War. Earlier names were Havre a Mathieu and Anse-a-Matieu. These were after Turin Mathieu , who had a family of ten near East Point in 1752.
