Mass at St. James at Sag Bridge
April 12, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
A Roman Catholic Mass will be celebrated by Pere Jacques Marquette, S.J., (portrayed by Fr. Thomas Koys). A reception will follow in the parish hall, along with a talk on Fr. Marquette, led by Fr. Jim Heyd. The 1853 church is situated on a high bluff at the western tip of the glacier-carved Mount Forest Island, overlooking the Cal Sag Channel and the community of Sag Bridge. The St. James at Sag Bridge Church is Northern Illinois’ oldest working Roman Catholic Church.
