St. Anselme Parish Cemetery is designated a local historic place for the tombstones of pioneer families from the region, as well as those of many prominent figures who left their mark on Acadian history.
From 1812-1839, a small chapel west of Chapelle Street was used for worship. A church was built in 1839. The tombstones are those of many who made their mark on local history along with pioneer families, including Irish settlers. The oldest stones to be found date back to the 1870s. However, older pioneers who arrived in the 1770s may also be buried here. The current church (construction began in 1898 and finished in 1904) replaced the smaller church build in 1839.
The two communities of St. Anselme and adjoining Fox Creek are now a part of Dieppe.
In Moncton, St. Bernard's, first built in 1872 with a congregation of 12 families, was the first Roman Catholic church. A larger church opened in 1879. In 1885, Rev. Henry Meahan decided to build a stone church and that cornerstone was laid in 1888. In 1913, the Acadians decided to separate from St. Bernard's and build their own church. The cornerstone was laid in 1914. Our Lady of the Assumption eventually became the Cathedral of the Archdiocese. The cemetery that served the Moncton Catholics was the Shediac Road Roman Catholic Cemetery. Since 1942, Catholics in the greater Moncton area are served by Our Lady of Calvary Cemetery.
