St. Brigid's Church, Prince Edward Island

St. Brigid's Church, Prince Edward Island, Roman Catholic church in Foxley River, Canada.

St. Brigid's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Foxley River, Prince Edward Island, designed by architect John McLellan and built by Jeremiah Dalton. The Gothic Revival building measures 60 feet by 30 feet, with 22-foot walls, a central tower topped by a pointed spire with four narrow dormers, and a copper cross. The interior is entirely paneled in wood.

Construction began in 1868 under Reverend James Aeneas McDonald and was completed in 1873 to serve the Irish settlement in the area. The building represents a period when Irish Catholics were establishing their religious institutions in this region.

The name comes from St. Brigid, a 5th-century Irish saint, chosen because the pioneer settlers of Lot 11 were predominantly Irish. Since 1870 the church has held an annual summer picnic, a tradition that continues today.

The church stands in Foxley River, in Lot 11, and has had no resident priest since 1982; services are led by the pastor of St. Anthony's in Bloomfield, so check Mass times before travelling. The annual summer picnic has been held since 1870. The building was listed as a Registered Historic Place in 2003.

Two stained glass windows inside feature detailed images of St. Brigid and St. Patrick, connecting the building to Irish religious art traditions. These windows serve as visual reminders of the saints that held special meaning for the Irish community.
