Kingsbridge, Ontario

It is approximately 22 kilometres north of Goderich on the Bluewater Highway where it intersects with Kingsbridge Line.

During the 1840s and 1850s many more Irish families, mostly from Kerry, although some from Counties Clare, Cork, and Tipperary, settled in the vicinity.

The first priest to visit the area was missionary Father Giveney, who baptized children and held the first mass in what is now Port Albert.

As the population in the area greatly increased, more capacity was needed, and the new church was larger and included a belfry.

A small Catholic school was built next to the Church, and was running for many years, but closed in June 2006 due to the low number of students.
