The "Restin'" caches are a series that will take you to local cemeteries, places of great historical interest. From pioneers and modern people these places are full of interesting information. Please take your time - walk around, visit with the past. The caches are easy to find. Please respect where you are.
Church / Denomination: St. Philomena's Church, Roman Catholic. Still active. Church erected 1858.
Registered to R.C.E.C of Diocese of Kingston. May be referred to as St. John's Cemetery as for a time the church went by that name. St. Philomena's was built on land donated by Joseph Gagneau who wished it to be named after his daughter Philomena. In the early days it is said that mass was held only once a month due to the scarcity of priests and the distance they had to travel. There are woods to the north of the cemetery (supposedly they are indian graves back here).
