Saint Michael's Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockford.

The parish is named after the Archangel Michael, and is seated on a hill overlooking downtown Galena.

This building served until it was destroyed by a fire which had consumed a good portion of downtown Galena.

The new building has a truss formation to hold the weight of the roof, which helped eliminate the need for pillars within the church.
