They offer a few choices of Fish and a nice shrimp dinner. All very nice. They hold the event every Friday during lent in the basement of the school...which has two huge rooms. Lots of students come help and the men's/women's clubs run everything to perfection. Highly recommended Fish Fry ... probably the best one we've been to in the greater Chicagoland area . Try it...

I got married at this church in December 2005, and I have nothing but good things to say about it…read more Where do I start? Aesthetic: It is a beautiful church -- lovely stained glass, and a white marble (or alabaster?) altar, a beautiful painted dome that you can see from afar, and the interior is shaped like a circle -- which I found novel and I'm sure there's a great story there that I don't know about. Congregation: They have a very friendly and pretty diverse congregation, drawing from the neighboring communities and the students from UIC. They have celebrations for certain Filipino traditions and Our Lady of Guadalupe. I don't recall the sermons ever being so conservative that they grated on us or even stood out as being a turn-off, and for me and my progressive husband, that's saying a lot. The current pastors are very warm and engaging (Fr. Pat and Fr. Jose). Our Fabulous Wedding Experience: The pastor there in 2005 was Fr. Paul Reicher -- he was awesome. First, he didn't freak when I told him my husband wasn't a baptized Catholic (he was raised Episcopalian). Secondly, he seemed genuinely interested in making sure we were happy together and marrying for the right reasons, rather than getting bogged down by the do's and don't's of Catholicism. Third, we didn't have to be parish members for years or pay an arm an a leg to be married at this beautiful place (Unlike some other churches, where there's a huge dog & pony show involved in getting married there). While we still did some pre-Cana marriage prep things (a compatibility test and a day long reflection retreat), we weren't asked to jump through hoop after hoop just to prove how Catholic we were. We wanted to be married at that church, and as long as we were committed to each other and the basic tenets of Catholicism, that seemed to be enough. Then, our wedding ceremony was fabulous! Many of our urban, artistic and rebellious crew noted that they liked it -- warm, insightful and none of this "wives, be subordinate to your husbands" stuff. We moved far from the area about two years ago, but I still miss Notre Dame. The warmth, the laid back attitude, the inclusiveness. It's truly a gem.

I'm sure this is a great place of worship, but I live across from this church and have to hear the…read morechurch bells obnoxiously ringing almost every day. Sometimes the neighboring churches choose to team up and all ring their bells simultaneously- and listen, if this were to happen for a short amount of time I wouldn't mind. However, it goes on for 10+ minutes! multiple times a day! it's especially irritating in the morning when I'm suddenly awakened by the extremely loud sound. I have absolutely no issue with the religious aspect of this ceremonial procedure as my father is a pastor- but being someone who's a light sleeper, it is impossible for me to rest and my landlord had never informed me that there was a church nearby when we first moved in. If I knew this information earlier, I wouldn't have moved in & signed my lease. I just don't want to keep waking up in a panic every few days because of the loud noise, this has caused a great deal of anxiety in my student life as well. Not being able to sleep negatively affects the rest of my day and my schoolwork.

There is a priest who I cannot understand and you never know who will be the priest for a service and this means I don't understand the homily on days he is serving. The church is perpetually under funded the entire time I've been here - 20 years - but somehow it marches on. There is no a/c in the summer and the fans are so loud you never hear the service.

It's a Novus Ordo church,but it's still nice. Unfortunately though,there's one priest that can't enunciate English well and his voice is like a drone. I get it that English isn't his first language,but it's irritating. Also their bulletin I think is either confusing accidentally or on purpose. They put in a bulletin(which every church in the diocese has)a mass schedule with days and times and an individual priest for each,but then it's a different one like a last minute switch and it happens too often. I don't mean to be rude about this priest,God Bless Him but I don't want to have to listen hard to understand him.
