Saint Bernard
Holy Angels Church, part of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois, is located in Wood River, about 20 miles northeast of downtown Saint Louis. Originally founded as Saint Bernard Church in 1919, it merged with Saint Kevin Church in East Alton in 2005, reflecting the community's historical and cultural evolution.
The church's building dates back to the late 1950s, succeeding a series of earlier structures that served the growing Catholic community formed largely by workers from nearby Standard Oil. Wood River itself has a rich history, once hosting the starting point for the Lewis and Clark expedition and experiencing significant industrial development throughout the 20th century.
