History
St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church at Nelson, Northumberland County, New Brunswick, was founded by missionary father William Dollard, who was sent to the Miramichi area in 1823 by the Bishop of Quebec. In 1824 he replaced the existing church, known as Malcolm's Chapel, with a structure that was destroyed by fire in 1883. St. Patrick's Church was rebuilt.
