Located in the far north Sauganash neighborhood of the City of Chicago, Queen of All Saints…read moreBasilica is a historic Roman Catholic church. 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.

Each mass we attended we were able to have a different priest do the homily. Each homily heard was meaningful and relevant. The church has a nice mix of people; German, Irish, Italian, Hispanic, Asian. I like that. God created us all different and this church represents that spirit. Door greeters up front always friendly. Down to earth neighborhood vibe. It is clean, has a nice amount of masses available to go to and a mass in Spanish. My husband, myself and our kids are really happy with our new parish home. We are going to be formally joining.

When I attended other churches in the past, it was a constant struggle for me to find the energy to…read moreget up and go. I felt I was getting little back for my investment of time. However, ever since I began attending Windy City Community Church, I look forward to learning from the pastor, Steve Story. Steve's sermons actually keep you awake, are humorous and clear. Even though I went to a Catholic school growing up it took WCCC to teach me what the Bible says for my life... who knew it was such a great instructional manual for life?! It's a grace based church, meaning no guilt just appreciation for what Jesus did for each and every single person. This was new to me but it's clear from the Bible it's how we should live (see Steve I am awake!). WCCC is a large enough church to have lots of different groups including at least 4 different groups for kids, two men's groups (one that incorporates sports), a couple of women's groups, College/Young adult age, Senior small group, and those are just the ones I know of! The 10:00 am Sunday service is full enough that you can sing without feeling you stand out but not so full that you can't find somewhere to sit. Speaking of music, it's great! The music pastor, Jeremiah, is great and they have incorporated talented younger, teen- 20 year olds on the music team. Some are college music students, some professionals, and others could be! The atmosphere is casual (jeans and t-shirts mostly), welcoming and the people are friendly without being pushy. You join in on only what you choose to but I'll say I didn't make friends until I made the effort to get involved so stepping out of your comfort zone is worth it!
