History
Established before 1900
First school-chapel: 1948
First parish priest: 1947
In 1900, there were only 40 families in the Humphrey area; people had to travel to Moncton for religious services.
In 1947, Bishop Norbert Robichaud detached part of the parish of Saint-Louis-de-France, Lewisville, and founded a new parish in Humphrey, in the northeast of the town, under the name of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. This parish, entrusted to the Redemptorist Fathers, had about one hundred families.
In 1948, the Notre-Dame Chapel-School was built, where the Sisters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart taught and which served as a place of worship until 1955. At that time, the parish moved to the basement of the new Redemptorist Fathers' seminary on Elmwood Street, where it remained until 1972.
In 1953, Sunny Brae separated from the Lewisville parish and became the Stella-Maris Mission.
The Notre-Dame-du-Perpétuel-Secours parish and the Stella-Maris Mission were merged in 1972 to become the new Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix parish. The current church was built in 1973. The English Catholic parish of St. Michael shared the same premises until its church was built in 1982.
The parish of Our Lady of Peace experienced rapid growth with the development of this area of Moncton.
The parish established a community centre, the Père-Patrice-LeBlanc Centre, in 1995. The Centre's size was doubled in 2000, and the kitchen was expanded in 2009.
