This was the first Catholic Cemetery in Saint John, and was founded in 1853. It was the only cemetery in the area until 1878, when St. Joseph Cemetery opened on Westmorland Road (hence St. Mary's is referred to as the "old" cemetery and St. Joseph's as the "new.") As many as 16,000 people are thought to be buried here, many Irish laborers in unmarked graves. The book "We Hardly Knew Ye" by Mary Kilfoil McDevitt details the history of this cemetery.
