1.
This church was erected in 1769. On July 3rd 1770 the
Rev. Bruin Romcas Comingo was ordained and became their
pastor and continued as such for half a century, preaching
regularly until his 95th year. He was the first Presbyterian
Minister ordained in Canada.
2.
The first Church was built in 1771, the second in 1841
and the present structure in 1891. In the second landing
of the main tower is the bell which originally hung
in the old fortress at Louisburg. It, with another smaller
bell in a Museum in Quebec, claims the distinction of
being the oldest bell in the Dominion of Canada.
