History
First erected on 30 September 1842 under the name Diocese of Saint John in America, this see took its present title, the Diocese of Saint John, New Brunswick (Latin: Dioecesis Sancti Ioannis Canadensis), on 15 November 1924. It stood under the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth from 1852 until 1936, when it passed to the newly erected Archdiocese of Moncton, a province created to reflect the population and linguistic diversity of New Brunswick's Catholics; it remains a Moncton suffragan today.
