In 1978, [[Roch Thériault|Thériault]] moved his commune by hiking to a mountainside in Saint-Jogues, in the sparsely populated Gaspé Peninsula, where he claimed they could all be saved.There, [[Roch Thériault|Thériault]] made the commune build their town. In February 1979, [[Roch Thériault|Thériault]]'s fear of the end of the world grew, claiming that God had warned him that the Apocalypse would come and used the commune to prepare for it. To expand the community as well as keep the members devoted, [[Roch Thériault|Thériault]] married and impregnated all of the women, fathering over 20 children with 9 female members of the group, and by the 1980s there were nearly 40 members. In 1984, the group relocated from Quebec to a new site near Burnt River, a hamlet in Central Ontario now part of the city of Kawartha Lakes.
