St. James at Sag Bridge Church and Cemetery

Lemont, Illinois

Cold and rainy here today. I didn't get ant pictures. I processed this picture from my archives

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. Click here for more information
