Our church is named in honour of St Brigid, she is known as "Mary of the Gael" and is the Patroness of Ireland, she was born in AD453 and died in AD524 . St Brigid founded Kildare Monastery and is depicted holding a church in her hand because of her work in spreading the Gospel.
Her feast day is 1 February

The land for the church was donated by a prominent and generous businessman Mr. W Nicholas in 1890, at that time he was an active member of the Trinity Church community.
The Bundanoon community and the non-catholic churches have been supportive of efforts to build a Catholic Church, this is shown by the ongoing support of Mr. Nicholas and the historical records which indicate gifts and support over many years.

The church was officiallyblessed and opened on 31 March 1895. The extension was blessed and opened on 10 November 1935.

Unfortunately many of the details relating to our Benefactors have been lost over the years, we are making efforts however to gather more information.

It is proposed that on the feast day of St. Brigid each year we will offer Mass in memory of those that have done some much for this small community - not just for the benefactors , but for the Priests that have celebrated Mass and conducted the Marriages, Baptisms, Funerals and all the other services over so many years , what stories they could tell!

We also owe a great debt to those that have kept our church going for all these years- cleaning, maintenance and the grounds etc., many of those that help are members of families that have been active for several generations.
