Conewago Chapel: America’s Oldest Stone Catholic Church | Harrisburg News
Description
Step into history at Conewago Chapel in Hanover, Pennsylvania — the oldest stone Catholic church in the U.S., built in 1785-87 on land once illegal for churches. A “mother church” for Catholicism in the region, it’s still standing today with original artwork by Bavarian painter Franz Stecher and a Pope-approved title as a minor basilica. The cemetery predates the U.S., and its quiet, sacred vibe draws pilgrims seeking peace two centuries later.
