This 'Pilgrimage Stop' is only about 40 minutes north of the Orem/Provo area. It is not far from the I-15 and I-80 intersection. Sacred Heart Church, which shows a dated sign on the building of 1952, feels like it was built in the early 1900's. I am fond of the vintage, antique and look of yester-year. This church is just as it should be, classic and timeless. Let me explain myself. As you enter the church you come into a small foyer where people meet and information is located. Once inside the church I immediately noticed the side walls with many antique stained glass windows of Holy Brothers, Sisters, Fathers, etc. Straight in front is an elegant altar with

In response to the “May Day” celebrations for workers sponsored by Communists, Pope Pius XII instituted the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker in 1955. As you might have guessed, today's pilgrimage has brought me to Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Church • 7405 South Redwood Road • P.O. Box 98 • West Jordan, Utah 84084 • Phone: 801-255-8902 • Website: www.stjoseph-wj.org (A website bursting with information.) This church has an amazing history. Apparently in West Jordan, there were displaced miners, immigrants and their families. They were in need of a church to reinforce their sense of community, have a place to worship and call home. Due of the lack of funds, these hard workers and laborers built the church themselves. It wasn't just manpower, but man, woman and children power! History does repeat itself.
