Consecrated in 1849, St. Johannes Cemetery is owned and cared for by St. John's United Church of Christ (UCC), Bensenville.

This sacred land is presently (2006) in litigation in the federal courts, as the City of Chicago (owners/operators of O'Hare International Airport) are making efforts through eminent domain to seize, desecrate and remove this historical cemetery.

    Let's hope that the cemetery can be removed in a respectful manner and relocated nearby.
