In honor of the 100th anniversary of the St. John's Church building and the 160th anniversary of St John's Church, Matt Galik wrote a 12 page book about the church and the process this small congregation went through to place on our landscape one of the most significant building's in our town and region.
The churches of Mokena have always played a significant role in our town. Not only as a place of worship but a place of community gatherings for celebrations and mournings, education and entertainment. Those churches have served countless meals, hosted elections, and helped those in need, along with meeting the spiritual needs of a growing community.
St. John's and their Ladies Aid Society and the Brotherhood of St. John's, along with the leadership and encouragement of Reverend William Kreis, are the reason that we have this beautiful place of worship today.
We are excited to share this story with you about St. John's Church!
