Saint Michael's Church, Wedgeport

The First Catholic church was built at Wedgeport in the 1820's when this would have been considered a "mission" of Saint Anne's Parish. Wedgeport became a parish in its own right, Saint Michael's, in 1845. The first church was replaced by a large and more substantial church building which was begun in 1864 and completed in 1867. This second church resembled the Catholic church at Saulnierville in Digby County. This photograph shows a large crowd of parishioners entering the new church.
