Welcome to Holy Family -
A Chicago Landmark of FaithWelcome to Holy Family Church, the second oldest Catholic church in the city of Chicago.
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 a truly special place to worship. The beauty of our parish is found not only in our historic church, but in the diversity of our welcoming and friendly parishioners.
Holy Family is now part a newly merged parish - Holy Family/Notre Dame de Chicago. We invite you to come and worship at Holy Family or our sister church, Notre Dame de Chicago, and find out for yourself why, "Our Doors are Open Wide!"

Holy Family/Notre Dame parishioners, together with St. Ignatius College Prep students and faculty, joined to fight hunger in Chicago by walking in the 34th Annual Hunger Walk in Jackson Park on September 7. This year, our 67 walkers joined over 15,000 in the park to raise funds for the Greater Chicago Food Depository. To date, our walkers have raised over $2,300 through direct donations and walker subsidies. A portion of these funds are slated to come back to the Holy Family food pantry. All the walkers hope that the Holy Family food pantry will be open soon after being closed due to flooding in Damen Hall. Donations are still being accepted through September. Please click on the picture or title link to make a contribution.Read More -

St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta vowed to a life of chastity, poverty and obedience and to give "wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor" as founder and member of the Missionaries of Charity. Her charitable works of love, selflessness, and activism both challenged and brought peace to the world. Pope John Paul II once asked, "Where did Mother Teresa find the strength and perseverance to place herself completely at the service of others? She found it in prayer and in the silent contemplation of Jesus Christ, His Holy Face, His Sacred Heart." Draw into the silence and serenity of Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House. Come reflect in prayer and in communion with other women on the life of St. Mother Teresa and how her ~ and your ~ actions and love for others embody the Heart of Jesus. Please click the title link or picture for more information and to register.Read More -
