In 1674 Quebec became an Episcopal See, and missionary priests were sent from that Diocese to minister to the converted Indians, Acadians and the recent Catholic settlers from the British Isles. By 1758 the French inhabitants had left the area, which is now Fredericton, and for 70 years there was no Catholic church in Fredericton. Therefore, Catholic families travelled to French Village, 11 miles away, for Sunday mass
