History:
In 1844, Hugh Duffy gave a small section of his property to the Catholic community of the township to be used as a church and cemetery. It appears that the cemetery had been started a year earlier when John Duffy, a brother of Hugh, was buried on the property. The church remained at the site until 1969, when an unusually strong wind blew the roof off the building and almost damaged some of the nearby gravestones. The compromised building was removed from the property, while the cemetery remains open for burials through the administration of the Catholic Diocese of Hamilton.
