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!"

Sunday Masses to end at Holy Family

Leaders to discuss transistioning all Masses to Notre Dame
In order to continue to implement the Cardinal's Decree for Renew My Church, Fr. Peter has called a meeting of "essential leaders" on January 28 at Notre Dame to evaluate the alternating 10:00 Mass held during the Advent/Christmas season, and to begin discussions for transitioning all Sunday Masses and sacramental celebrations to Notre Dame de Chicago.
The team of leaders will discuss three options:- Option 1: Begin celebrating all Sunday liturgies at the Notre Dame site on March 1 – the first Sunday of Lent. Have a final mass of thanksgiving and shalom at the Holy Family site on Sunday, February 23. Announce parish’s new name and dedicate the Notre Dame as the of the new parish on the Feast of Pentecost, May 31.
- Option 2: Contiune current Sunday Mass schedule at both sites throughout the five weeks of Lent. Palm Sunday will be the final Sunday Mass at Holy Family. Begin celebrating all liturgies at the Notre Dame during Holy Week 2020. Announce parish’s new name and dedicate Notre Dame as the new parish on the Feast of Pentecost.
- Option 3: Continue current Sunday Mass schedule at both sites until The Feast of Pentecost, May 31. Triduum celebrations will be at Notre Dame only. Announce parish’s new name and dedicate the Notre Dame as the of the new parish the same Sunday.
Leaders will also discuss whether there is a need to hold a "Town Hall" Meeting for all parishioners to solicit additional input.

We had a very productive meeting earlier in the month to discuss the future of the Food Pantry Ministry at Holy Family-Notre Dame Parish. As we look to the future, and the ways that Holy Family-Notre Dame is committed to the Corporal Works of Mercy, it is clear that feeding our brothers and sisters in need continues to be a priority. The Food Pantry will move to the Notre Dame de Chicago site. Collaboration will happen with the Franciscan Outreach Ministry and we will continue to look for ways to grow in our service to the community. We need your help in order to make this happen! If you are interested in volunteering with the Food Pantry ministry, please contact Victoria (vdbusiness@gmail.com) or Chef Dan (dkopanke@hotmail.com).Read More -

Where are we at in the Renew My Church process right now? Right now, we are in the Operations Transition phase of RMC (and we will be through June). We are creating a foundation, both with resources and a long-term vision, to support vitality in our newly united parish. We are analyzing how our financial structures are set up, what our facilities are being used for, and how our staff and volunteer time is focused. Our goal is to ensure that all our resources are working towards evangelization, to bringing people to Jesus. The way that the communities from both the Holy Family site and the Notre Dame site came together to pray during Advent and Christmas reveals the hospitality and evangelization that we want all our resources to continue to work towards. Do you have Renew My Church or operational questions? Feel free to send me an email! spelrine@archchicago.org.Read More

Observed each year on the third Monday in January as “a day on, not a day off,” MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. The Corporation for National and Community service has been charged to lead this effort for the last quarter century.
