The oldest continuing Italian American Church in the City of Chicago, located on the west side in the heart of historic “Little Italy”. We are a Catholic community, with Christ as our foundation, that welcomes all like family, that proudly celebrates its heritage and tradition. Here the restless seeking of the soul finds a safe place to explore its sacred journey.
upcoming shrine EVENTS and news
Walking with Mary, Saturday, August 17, 2019 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Freewill donations gratefully received.
Arrigo Park (Peanut Park), across the street from the Shrine, provides a perfect place to leisurely walk and reflect on Mary, the Mother to All. Join us as we share Scripture, prayer, stories and poetry for the Feast of the Assumption, which is August 15. Benches in the park give several opportunities to sit during this gentle walk. (We will walk in church if there is inclement weather.)
This pilgrimage will be led by Julie Berggren, MA.
Julie is a spiritual director, chaplain, and retreat leader.
Freewill donations gratefully received. All are welcome!
