4.Church

The parish has been found in 1739. Far from the Chambly local church, citizens of Pointe-Olivier received the right to built a little wood chapel in the middle of the village. This church was lead by the priest of Chambly.

The 1st of July 1855, the parish of Pointe-Olivier has been named St-Mathias in honour of the apostle. In 1988, in reason of its geographical situation, the name of the municipality is replaced by St-Mathias-sur-Richelieu.
