a history of faith & service to chicago
Welcome to 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. 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!
Rev. Lukas M. Laniauskas, SJ
President, Church of the Holy Family

thank you to noted Dutch historian,Simone Vermeeren
On Thurs., Aug. 4th, we welcomed Dutch historian Simone Vermeeren of Eindhoven, Netherlands. Using both historic and contemporary images and previously overlooked sources, Ms. Vermeeren traced the extraordinary journey of Fr. Damen, S.J. that began in 1815 with his baptism in a "clandestine" Dutch Catholic church and his decision at age twenty-two to emigrate to the United States. Ms. Vermeeren provided over 100 guests with an in-depth history and information that most were unaware of about Fr. Damen's life.
Thank you, Simone, for bringing your research to our community.
We look forward to having you back again!
