It’s #OpenHouseChicago weekend (Oct 19-20)! While the Shrine is not a participating site this year, stop by & admire its beauty from the outside while you’re exploring the #OHC sites in Hyde Park/Woodlawn!

“While many Shrine faithful may not live in #Woodlawn, we know that the Shrine is their spiritual home, and we consider them a vital part of our community.”
Thank you so much to Ald. Taylor @taylorfor20th for expressing her concerns to the Archdiocese of Chicago. #SaveTheShrine

This lovely pen-and-ink drawing of the Shrine appears in the recently-published compendium “#Chicago #Catholic #Churches: A Sketchbook” from @HistoryPress & @ArcadiaPub. The author explains that he “became inspired after witnessing the demolition of several beautiful churches.”

Shrine faithful & Canons continue to contribute to the needs of their #Woodlawn #neighbors.

Very grateful for @publicroad's fair profile of the Latin Mass movement in America in the NYT. But the photojournalism accompanying it was even more eloquent. For those who have eyes to see. https://t.co/MKMJSpKib3

[Save the Shrine @SaveTheShrine]

Thank you to @publicroad and @nytimes for covering the #LatinMass situation in the US, with a focus on @StJosephShrineD, the @ICKSP’s location in Detroit, and calling attention to the particular cruelty of #Chicago’s #TLM restrictions. #SaveTheShrine https://t.co/DTs33a9BNK
