History
St. Thomas University was established in 1910. At the time, the Most Reverend Thomas F. Barry, Bishop of Chatham, invited the Basilian Fathers of Toronto to take control of a school in Chatham, New Brunswick, that provided secondary and junior college education for boys. The institution was called St. Thomas College.
The Basilian Fathers occupied St. Thomas until 1923. The school was placed under the guidance of the clergy of the Diocese of Chatham that year. The Diocese of Chatham was renamed the Diocese of Bathurst in 1938.
A portion of Northumberland County, including St. Thomas College, was transferred from the Diocese of Bathurst to the Diocese of Saint John in 1959
