Arial View of the Church
This church was built in 1916. There was an addition in the 1940's and a small addition in 1950. At some point, the Herjsas bought the property where the garage sits. The home that sat in front of the garage was moved down the street which is still standing in Cicero. We do paranormal investigations and seances at this location.
There's lot of history in this building
Because this building was built as a result of the Eastland disaster, you can imagine the tears one hears echoing from the walls. Mothers looking for their babies and kids wanting to grow up. Such a tragedy .
Just a few years later, the mob would find their last stay at the mortuary on 25th Street in Cicero.
Now everyone knows there were many mobsters in Cicero. The mortuary had a history of many debts paid inside this building. The ghosts of past are right here. Through paranormal investigations, technology and seances we are able to experience the communication with the Spirit and re-live a little the past.
