History
Established around 1963
First church: 1986
First parish priest: 1967
In 1967, the university Christian community acquired a chapel housed in the former chapel of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, part of the monastery they had sold to the University of Moncton. In 1986, a new chapel—a separate building—was constructed on campus and named Notre-Dame d’Acadie, in memory of the convent for young women that had existed from 1949 to 1967. It was also on this occasion that the university Christian community was established as a parish. The chapel, belonging to the University of Moncton, is a place of welcome and prayer for all students, regardless of their religious beliefs. However, the Archdiocese of Moncton retains oversight of the activities that take place there.
The "Priest" dimension is primarily present through baptisms, weddings, and the Eucharist. Within the Eucharistic celebrations, in addition to the major events of the year, special occasions are highlighted: among others, the blessing of students, international Masses with the international choir, Midnight Mass for students before the December exam period, a special Mass during the student carnival, the recognition of wedding and religious life anniversaries, and the convocation Mass.
The "Prophet" dimension is also important, with spiritual journey sessions offered to young and old alike: ALPHA, Bible study groups, Taizé prayers, Word that Liberates and Heals, Cursillo, World Youth Day, spiritual reflection weekends for young people, and the outdoor Stations of the Cross. campus.
The concept of "King"—being of service—is very important. The university Christian community considers it essential to offer members opportunities to socialize and take the time to say hello. Throughout the academic year, many Eucharistic celebrations conclude with a fraternal gathering: whether it's the Back-to-School BBQ, a drink prepared by international students during an international Mass, the New Year's Eve celebration after Midnight Mass for students, hot chocolate after Mass during the Student Carnival, the Valentine's Day Brunch, the potluck at the annual meeting… Another important community activity is providing "Soup and Sandwiches" to students during the December exam period.
Furthermore, being located on the Université de Moncton campus, it goes without saying that the Notre-Dame d’Acadie community supports and encourages student groups involved in humanitarian work.
The Notre-Dame d’Acadie community is therefore composed primarily of students of Canadian and international origin, as well as non-students, most of whom are current or former students or employees of the Université de Moncton who maintain a connection to and support for Notre-Dame d’Acadie.
