St. James at Sag Bridge

The origin of St. James at Sag Bridge Church and Cemetery dates back to the building of the Illinois and Michigan Canal in the 1830s. The workers who built the canal were largely Irish and later settled in the area of the canal. Because they were mostly Roman Catholic and were duty bound to hold regular church services and bury their dead in only hallowed ground, cemeteries were among the first plots of land to be set aside for public purposes.

My great grandparents, grandparents and parents are all buried in this wonderful cemetary. It is a place of great history and peace. I enjoy strolling the grounds whenever I am back in the Chicago area.
