Reprint of public testimonial given by Reverend John F. McNally on April 14, 1953, on the celebration of his 25th Anniversary of ordination into the priesthood.
Chicagoland Monthly magazine had a good article about the closing of Sacred Heart Mission in the April 1979 issue.
This booklet was published by the Commission on Chicago Historical and Architectural Landmarks, in August 1980. It contains a few photos, along with an extensive history on Sacred Heart Mission.
On Sunday, September 18, 2011, at 10:30am, a Mass of Thanksgiving will be celebrated in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Ordination of Father John Anthony Kret, O.S.A.
A celebration and refreshments will be held following the Mass.
Back to school also means it is time for Religious Education (CCD) classes to begin again at Sacred Heart. The 2011-2012 year begins on Sunday, September 11, 2011. Registration Forms are available in the back of church.
Visit the Religious Education page for full calendar.
In the 1920’s, Father de Norus published a magazine called “The Blessing.” It was produced monthly and chronicled events at Sacred Heart Church. After reading about this in the book “Spires of Faith: Historic Churches of Chicago,” I decided to name the blog part of this site after the magazine.
I am in the process of changing over the website for Sacred Heart to a WordPress format. If you have suggestions or recommendations, please let me know!
I am also looking for information to fill the History page. Any written copy and photos that you would like to share would be appreciated. Email them to info@chicagosacredheart.org.
Thanks,
Karen
