This is St. Anne Catholic Church in St. Anne, Illinois. This is the church where my mom was baptized . She and her brothers and sisters attended the convent school there until her mom died. Then when her dad died 2 years later 7 of the 10 kids were placed in the Home of the Friendless orphanage in Chicago. The baby was placed with an uncle. Mom at 17 was found a position as nanny/maid to a family in Kankakee, Illinois and her next oldest sister was placed in the convent in St. Anne to live with the nuns until she finished school.
This is a beautiful church. The altar is very impressive. There is an area at the rear of the church that tells about the saint St. Anne and her power to perform miracles of healing.
This is Zion Lutheran Church near Herscher, Illinois. My parents were members, when they lived in the Bonfield area of Kankakee County. My sister JoAnn was buried at the cemetery on the church property.
