This Catholic Cemetery in Kilbride, on the outskirts of St. John's, was the site of St. Bride's Church. This small stone church was consecrated by Bishop John Thomas Mullock in 1863 and destroyed by fire in 1892. The church was not lost in the famed fire which destroyed much of St. John's in July 1892 (leaving about 12,000 people homeless), but rather due to a forest fire that hot summer which brought flankers to the roof of the structure, and efforts of local parishioners were unable to save it. During a depressed economic time with thousands of homes and businesses lost in nearby St John's, the burned-out ruin was left for many years and parishioners met in the schoolhouse. By 1923 the new Corpus Christi Church opened on a different site closer to St John's, of which Kilbride is now a part.
