The Saint Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church in Chinese Camp was established in 1854, making it the oldest church in the county.
The church was renovated in 1949 by John Nicolini but has since fallen into disrepair. Ghost hunters claim the graveyard is haunted (of course). The owners of the Chinese Camp Store have been to the graveyard at night many times and have seen no ghost – or maybe they are in league with them….
