Church of Our Saviour, Friend of Children, also known as Holy Angels Roman Catholic Church, is a church located on North Shore Road on Sugar Island, near Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1978[1] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[2]
History
Michael G. Payment was born in Montreal in 1814.[3] In 1827 he moved to Detroit and became involved in business.[3] He soon was put in charge of cargo shipments, in which capacity he traded goods with Native Americans.[3] In 1845, Payment moved to Sugar Island and established a small settlement, known at the time as "Payment's Landing" or "Payment Settlement."[1] Payment undertook trade with the local Ojibwe people, establishing a successful trading post. Beginning in 1853, Bishop Frederic Baraga was a frequent visitor to the settlement, and in 1856 Baraga purchased lumber and requested that Michael Payment construct a church at the site. Payment complied, and the building was completed in 1857.[1]
Michael Payment returned to Detroit in 1874,[3] but regular services were held at the church[4] until it closed in 1953.[1] The church reopened in 1982 for services in the summer.[1] It is the last remaining structure from Payment's Landing.[1]
Description
Church of Our Saviour, Friend of Children is a single story frame structure sitting on a fieldstone foundation. The exterior was originally clad in clapboard, but at some time weatherboarding was installed over the original siding.[1] The church has a gable roof with a square, pyrimidal-roofed belfry at the top. Each side has three windows, and one end has an entry portico below a plain wooden cross.[1]
