Padre Thomas Nangle played a major part in the building of Newfoundland Memorial Park, Beaumont Hamel. He was also a driving force behind the erection of our magnificent War Memorial in St John's.

When speaking of memorials and monuments, Padre Nangle said that they were "Monuments to our Glorious Dead and to our just as Glorious Survivors. They are monuments to the Mothers that bore such brave sons and the Land that bred them."
