His prior homilies had been awesome. But my affection for dear gay friends combined with my own self-knowledge of my proclivities forced me to (sadly) walk out.

I graduated from this school back in the early 90s and returned after traveling the world. Fr. also stated that it was my peeps, the Filipinos that kept this parish still alive while so many in the Archdiocese are being closed. Orthodoxy under the radar and a love of the faith can do that. There's still a vibrant youth church and multiple ministries that help the local community. The fact that these things occur and people don't know about them show a disconnection from faith and being involved with the church in general.

Had been following James Ward Jr. on his radio program 'Cultural Conversations' and found his radio broadcast very uplifting, refreshing, unique. Never imagined I would be actually attending his church, like ever. If I had to describe him I'd say he's less of a traditional, run of the mill pastor and more like a motivational speaker / CEO very cool guy. Very real, down to earth, authentic atmosphere. James Ward jr. offers an almost decadent buffet of powerful messages that stirs you and boosts you out of your comfort zone and into actualizing your faith + prayer life, not just being a sideline Christian. He teaches us how to bring it in the streets, in our homes, and in the workplace. Highly recommended.

I don't know that I would drive out of my way specifically just to visit, but we were so glad that we spotted it on our way to a cute (and yummy, see my review) bakery within walking distance called Sweety Pies. While we were inside taking photographs, really enjoying the stained-glass windows and architecture, there happened to be musicians in the rafters rehearsing. Such a nice way to further appreciate the beauty around us. It turns out there was to be a wedding here in less than a half hour! If you are a shutterbug, or just appreciate the wonderful architecture, sculptures, and stained-glass of many old churches, and are in the neighborhood, you should enjoy the charm of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Skokie.

It has great meaning (past and present) for my wife's family, and we were able to use it as a place for remembrance during the start of Lent in 2025. Basilicas are Catholic churches with special privileges and historical significance, granted by the Pope and approved by the Vatican. There are four 'major' ones, all located in Rome, and many minor ones (with three in the City of Chicago). A Cathedral is the church that serves as the home for a Catholic Diocese, with the Holy Name Cathedral being that for the Chicago arch-diocese (though it is not a basilica). The Queen of All Saints was completed in 1960, with Pope John XXIII elevating it to a basilica in 1962. Our families came for the 8:30 am mass on a Monday, to remember the one year death anniversary of our dad. We came early, and witnessed the rosary led by layman (mostly Filipinos from what I can tell). By 8:30 am, the front of the church was filled up. After the mass, our families stayed to do our rosary for the dead.

Inside you will find the 2nd largest collection of relics in the United States! Unassuming from the outside, inside features some truly precious relics including the incorrupt tongue of St. John Nepomucene, items owned by St. John Vianney, and the bones of St. Benedict, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Remaclus, St. Stephen the First Martyr, and even St. Peter. It is not possible to list every saint whose relics are here. This is a truly wonderful place to pray and thank God for the miracles wrought through his saints. The Shrine is currently led by Fr. Dennis O'Neill who has grown it over the years to its present state. It is available to tour by appointment only but if you are able to visit, you will surely find it an occasion of many graces.
