taken at St Anthony's Catholic Church in China-Manville, Indiana. they have the stations of the cross behind the church.

After German Catholics began arrive in the mid-1840s, St Anthony's was founded. In his history, William J Kremer says that the first Mass was read on St Anthony's Day, June 13, 1849, in a brick house the farm home of Hans Weber. The farm house was described by a tornado in 1974. Land for the church building was sold to the Bishop of Vincennes on April 15, 1851. Records of the Diocese of Indianapolis show that a log church was erected in 1861 on the south section of the present building with the sandstone church building, that is still standing, constructed in 1869. The church operated until 1993, when it was made part of the combined Prince of Peace Parish. It is now owned by a Catholic retreat, which offers masses.
