The Catholic Church in New Brunswick, Canada has a long history and rich religious culture. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Santa Maria, located in St. John's, is one of the oldest churches in New Brunswick, founded in 1855 and consecrated on July 16, 1885. It is not only a Latin rite church of the Roman Catholic Church, but also listed as one of Canada's historic churches and on the pilgrimage list for the Year of Mercy. The architectural style blends Roman and Gothic elements. On February 20, 2001, the church was named a provincial-level historical site.
