A Chicago Landmark of FaithWelcome to Holy Family Church, Chicago's original Jesuit home for over 160 years. Founded in 1857 by Fr. Arnold Damen, S.J., our rich history is full of stories of faith, hope, and determination that make Holy Family one of the most beautiful and inspirational churches in the city.
Originally the church of immigrants, Holy Family has welcomed people of all races, colors and creeds through its iconic doors. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Holy Family continues to serve the students, alumni and friends of St. Igantius College Prep High School, as well as families who wish to celebrate weddings, baptisms, and the lives of departed family members.

Improvements begin at Holy Family
-
In spite of the pandemic, changes have begun to take place at Holy Family. Friends of the historic church will see some aesthetic changes when they are finally able to return.
Most notable of these changes is the altar. It has been moved up closer to the high altar and the old platform removed to allow for more seating for St. Ignatius College Prep masses. This also provides better sight lines from everywhere in the church.
Additionally, the original baptismal font has been moved the narthex of the church and raised on a platform, and the ambo has been replaced with one from an earlier period of the church's history.
The church welcomes donations to help preserve this valuable piece of Catholic Chicago history.

Looking to make a difference - Ignatian Volunteer Corp
-
The Ignatian Volunteer Corps® (IVC) connects prospective volunteers with not-for-partners throughout the city of Chicago and its suburbs. They are part of a national organization with over 600 volunteers in 20 regions. Chicago is the largest region with 60 members serving over 30 different organizations including Kolbe House, Cristo Rey schools, Catholic Charities, Habitat for Humanity and Howard Area Community Center among others.
While members continue to live with their families, IVC supports them with monthly meetings providing speakers, community discussion, and Mass. In addition, each volunteer meets with a spiritual reflector once/month to provide a companion on the journey of service and finding God in all things. Each year the community participates in a two-day retreat.
As IVC begins their service year in September, we keep all members (both volunteers and staff) in our prayers for a successful year ahead.
To learn more about IVC in the Chicagoland area, contact Jacqueline Fitzgerald via email at jfitzgerald@ivcusa.org.
