Pilgrimage of Prayer

Order Your “Pilgrimage of Prayer” Architectural Parish Guide

Normally, when we enter the church, we walk through it to admire the architecture, stained glass windows, and sanctuary. It’s rare to find a church that offers a guide to explain the “what” and the “why.” Consequently, most people miss out on the deeper meaning of what a church has to offer.The goal of our parish’s Pilgrimage of Prayer book is to help you appreciate what you see and help you come to a deeper understanding of why it is here. Our church is one of the most beautiful in Chicago, but without knowing and appreciating the meaning behind its beauty, we remain lost in the superficial reality of things. Churches are meant to draw us beyond this world into the heavenly reality; they are meant to teach us about the things of heaven and how to get there. Our hope is that this pilgrimage of prayer will deepen your understanding of things divine so as to enable you to grow in your love of God and neighbor.
