To make way for O'Hare's new and longer runways, church officials sold most of their land to the city. In 1952 they hoisted the church up on wheels and moved it into Bensenville, where it stands today on Route 83. A tall wooden cross in the cemetery marked the church's original location.
This cross and a monument for the St. Johannes Church and Cemetery were transferred to the new location in Eden Memorial Park Cemetery by the end of summer 2012, where many of the burials were re-interred in Section 10.
