St John Cantius and All Saints Class of 1980 Reunion
Has been
postponed until the spring of 2010. We are sorry
for the delay but there we not enough commitments to book a hall.
We are not sure when or where yet but I am thinking the Sat before Easter would
be a good time. Also I am thinking that the event may be at the Firemans
Hall located at Gaul and Lefevre. The class of 1979 had their 25th year
grade school reunion there ad it was really nice. Cost would be around
$25.00. I will not be changing the Bridesburg main page until this reunion
happens. If you are on Facebook please look for
the various groups relating to Bridesburg. If you are not on Facebook you
are missing some great stuff. I have found many people originally from
Bridesburg, living all over the country. I have touched base with a few
and continue to talk to some others. Starting a Facebook account is very
easy, just ask your kids for help. Anyway hope to see all at the Reunion.
Any updated information will be posted here.
Facebook is a great networking site which helps put people in touch with lost friends living all over the world. Its so easy to use and very simple to get started. Once your profile is up you will be surprised who you may find and also who finds you. Also the groups feature makes sharing photo's and stories easy. Some of the commitments to the reunion include; Chris Misko, Anthony Janczewski, John Winski, Tina Kennedy Gallager, Loretta Morgan, Alicia Olender Shelkin, Nancy Pecan Sauter, Randy Bowman, The only regret was from Steven Maduzia who currently lives in Texas.
All Saints commitments include Denise Gibson, Shawn Elko, Robin Ford, Annette McClean, and Jeanne Pomager. No regrets as of yet. If you are reading this please spread the word. We have only 2 months to pull this together.

Origins of BRIDESBURG
A village south of Frankford Creek and upon a tract of land formerly belonging
to Point-no-Point. It took its name from Joseph Kirkbride, who for many years
was land-owner there and proprietor of a ferry over Frankford Creek, and to whom
Legislature gave a right to build a bridge and receive toll for passage over the
same by act of March 20,1811. On April 1, 1833, the County of Philadelphia
bought the Kirkbride bridge and two and a half acres of land annexed for $5,500.
Kirkbridesburg was considered too long a name for convenient use, and the
shorter one was adopted Bridesburg was incorporated as a borough on April 1,
1848.
