Who we are

Our Lady of Peace Parish is located on the Northside of Fredericton and serves a combination of rural and urban parishioners, including one of New Brunswick's largest First Nations community.  

Consisting of three churches: St. Anthony's, St. Patrick's and St. Theresa's, Our Lady of Peace Parish serves the spiritual, social and health needs of our community. We welcome young families, seniors, new Canadians and visitors by offering a welcoming, inclusive community with many opportunities for spiritual growth through our many religious formation opportunities and provide social activities and general health and welfare services through our parish nursing program.  

Our wish for our future as a parish is to subscribe to the words of John Paul II and try to live his message of Peace in our daily lives.

St. Anthony's Church - Our Lady of Peace Parish History

Our Lady of Peace Parish: Est. September 1, 2018

The current Fredericton region has been served by Catholic missionaries since 1611 with the arrival of the Recollect and Jesuits. In 1691, with construction of Fort Nashwaak, a small chapel was placed in the commander's lodgings. By 1758, the French inhabitants had left the Fort and Catholics would travel miles to French Village for Sunday Mass. By 1783, restrictions surrounding Catholics owning land and priests residing in the province were lifted.

In 1824, land on Fredericton's southside was purchased, three years later Fr. Michael McSweeney built a chapel on this land (St. Dunstan's Parish). In 1887, the people of the northside of Fredericton, Maugerville and Stanley areas began the work erecting St. Mary's church and rectory, followed by missionary churches. Land for a cemetery was also purchased.

By 1906, the growing congregation with Fr. John J. Ryan built a larger church (St. Anthony's), serving missionary churches in Maugerville, Kingsley, Stanely and Tay Creek. Over the years the congregation continued growing and various groups were formed to meet the changing needs. In 1961, two more churches were added to the northside: St. Theresa's and Our Lady of Fatima.

​With changing demographics, in 2016 Bishop Robert Harris began a process of realignment and revitalization within the Diocese of Saint John. In 2018, it was announced that St. Anthony's, St. Theresa's and St. Patrick's (Stanley) would be realigned into one new parish, Our Lady of Peace Parish.
