Welcome to The Church of the Holy Family, 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. The Church of the Holy Family continues to serve the students, alumni and friends of Saint Ignatius College Prep, as well as families who wish to celebrate weddings, baptisms, and the lives of departed family members.
Blessings!
Fr. Lukas Laniauskas, S.J.
President, Holy Family Preservation Society
Friends,
As a recalling of our retreat just 2 weeks ago, here is a recent and timely message from the Jesuit Father General, Arturo Sosa, S.J.
It contains some good points for reflection during this season of conversion and social awareness.
A 5 minute video could be a very good way to open our hearts to listen for the Lord during this season of renewal.
Thanks.
Fr. Fairbanks, S.J.
Chaplain, Saint Ignatius College Prep
