Church of the Holy Family, Catholic church in Cahokia Heights, Illinois.
The Holy Family Church features wooden walls constructed from heavy walnut timbers shaped into rectangular blocks and filled with rubblestone and clay mixtures.
The congregation of Holy Family Church dates to 1699 when Canadian missionaries established it as the first Catholic parish west of the Allegheny Mountains.
The parish maintains traditional Catholic practices through Latin Mass services on Sunday mornings and regular worship gatherings throughout the week.
The church welcomes visitors at 116 Church Street, offering guided tours during summer months and regular Mass services on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The church structure exhibits the French colonial construction method called poteaux-sur-solle, making it one of the remaining examples in North America.
