Thomas Corcoran, an Irishman who arrived in 1810, was perhaps the first Catholic to settle in the Moncton area. In 1851, Father F.X. LaFrance of Memramcook purchased a lot of land for the construction of a church in Moncton. The first wooden church was finally erected in 1872 and dedicated to St. Bernard. In 1877, the building of a second and larger church was begun by Father F.X. Cormier and completed by Father William Foley, the first resident priest in the town of Moncton, in 1879. In 1882, with the appointment of Father Henry Alexis Meahan as Parish Priest, Moncton become the parish of Saint Bernard's. In 1888, the cornerstone of the present church was laid, marking the construction of the first stone building in Moncton. The cemetery, the primary resting ground for the Moncton Catholic community for over 100 years, was opened in the late 1890's.
