The incidents were alleged to have taken place in 1985 and 1986 in Shediac, when Breau was priest at the St. Joseph parish.
Breau was the chaplain at the University of Moncton until October 2016, when allegations first surfaced against him.
Some of the civil suits filed over the last few years also named Camille Leger and Yvon Arsenault.
Leger was a priest in the Sainte-Thérèse-d Avila Parish in Cap-Pelé between 1957 and 1980. He died in 1990 without ever being accused or convicted of any crimes.
Arsenault was sentenced in 2017 to four years in prison after pleading guilty to nine counts of molesting boys, dating back to the 1970s.
