History
Re-established in 1775
First church: 1930
First parish priest: 1930
The origins of Dieppe date back to the 1730s, when a group of Acadians who had settled in the bend of the Petitcodiac River established themselves there. From their settlement, they offered heroic resistance to the English invaders until 1759, when they were imprisoned in Halifax.
Around 1775, families from Turtle Creek settled at the site of Dieppe and received occasional visits from itinerant missionaries. From 1781 onward, they were part of the parish of Memramcook.
During the 1920s, many Acadians still made their living from farming. But the number of people finding work in Moncton was steadily increasing. By 1929, Acadians were providing a large portion of the workforce for the city's factories.
The inhabitants of this region belonged to the parish of Saint-Anselme, located a considerable distance away at the time. On November 7, 1930, the Bishop of Saint John, Bishop Edouard LeBlanc, canonically established the parish of Saint-Thérèse-de-l’Enfant-Jésus and appointed its first parish priest. A first church was built.
In 1945, the village was incorporated and renamed Dieppe. In 1950, an imposing stone church was opened. Magnificent stained-glass windows pay homage to the patron saint of the parish, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
