On Christmas Eve, in the first film, Kevin sits in a pew of this church during the choir rehearsal and finally talks with old Marley, the neighbour he was afraid of. A real filming location for the inside: the church itself tells the story of the filming, and the outside seen in the film is Trinity United Methodist Church in Wilmette.
