St. Barbara Church (Chicago)

St. Barbara's in Chicago (Polish: Kościół Świętej Barbary) - historic church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago located in Chicago, Illinois, at 2859 South Throop St. It is a prime example of the Polish Cathedral style of churches in both its opulence and grand scale. Along with St. Mary of Perpetual Help, it is one of two monumental religious edifices that dominate the Bridgeport neighborhood's skyline. History Founded in 1909 as a Polish parish to relieve overcrowding at St. Mary of Perpetual Help. Reverend Anthony Nawrocki, brother of St. Mary's pastor Stanislaus Nawrocki was the first pastor, thus the founding of the parish was a family affair in both the literal and figurative sense. In 2016, rumors began circulating surrounding the impending "Renew My Church" program. Rumors became reality in 2019 when the Archdiocese decided to "merge" St. Barbara with St. Therese Chinese Catholic School. However, unlike other "merge" plans in Renew My Church, St. Therese assumed possession of St. Barbara's school campus, administration, and rectory quarters. Architecture The church was designed by the firm of Worthmann and Steinbach who built many of the magnificent Polish Cathedrals in Chicago. The Renaissance style edifice was completed in 1914, it is one of the few octagonal houses of worship in the archdiocese. There are 25 stunning stained glass windows, depicting the Gospel, and the lives of the saints. Church in architecture books Schulze, Franz; Harrington, Kevin (2003). Chicago's Famous Buildings.

Église Sainte-Ita de Chicago

L'église Sainte-Ita (en anglais : St. Ita's Church) est une église catholique de la ville de Chicago, dans l'État de l'Illinois. Datant de 1927, elle fut conçue dans le style néogothique par l'architecte Henry Schlaks. Elle se trouve au 1220 West Catalpa Avenue dans le quartier d'Andersonville, dans la partie sud du secteur d'Edgewater, non loin du cimetière de Rosehill. L'église s'appelle Sainte-Ita du nom de la première religieuse irlandaise, ayant vécu au VIe siècle, et sainte-patronne de Killeedy (comté de Limerick), village natal de son premier curé. Description Histoire La paroisse a été fondée en 1900 pour une cinquantaine de familles du secteur par l'abbé irlando-américain John Crowe, près de la gare d'Edgewater. Une première petite église de bois est érigée au coin de la Catalpa Avenue et de la Magnolia Avenue, un presbytère de briques est construit en 1901 et une école paroissiale ouvre en 1904, tenue par les Sœurs de la Miséricorde (congrégation dont faisaient partie quatre des sœurs de sang de l'abbé Crowe). L'église Sainte-Ita a été consacrée par le cardinal George Mundelein le 9 octobre 1927. Le cardinal lui-même avait suggéré le style architectural, le gothique français. Le père Crowe et l'architecte Henry J. Schlacks se sont rendus dans les États de l'Est pour étudier les plus beaux exemples d'architecture gothique française dans ce pays. La conception de l'église s'inspire également de la cocathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation de Bourg-en-Bresse et de la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, toutes deux situées en France. Architecture Le bâtiment de l'école est terminé en 1909 avec 542 enfants scolarisés, dont 67 filles dans la section d'enseignement secondaire. Les Sœurs sont au nombre de dix-sept dans un couvent construit en 1909. Les plans de la nouvelle église sont approuvés par le cardinal Mundelein en 1923 dans le style gothique français, s'inspirant pour la façade de l'église Notre-Dame de Brou en France. La première pierre est bénie le 14 septembre 1924, cette pierre d'angle est une pierre noire des ruines du couvent de Sainte-Ita en Irlande. La première messe y a lieu à Pâques 1927 et elle est consacrée en octobre suivant. L'église, construite avec 1 800 tonnes de pierre provenant des carrières de calcaire de Bedford, mesure 57 mètres de longueur, 21,3 mètres de largeur et 29 mètres de hauteur jusqu'au gable. La tour s'élève à 37 mètres. Des détails gothiques élaborés marquent l'autel, mais les médaillons contenant plus de 200 000 pièces de vitraux, conçus par Schlacks, sont le véritable point culminant de l'intérieur. Les vitraux sont issus de la fameuse maison française Mauméjean. Le maître-autel néogothique et les autels latéraux sont en marbre et pierre d'Istrie et s'inspirent de l'église de Brou. Un nouvel orgue de 4 500 tuyaux est installé en 1951.

St. James Catholic Church and Cemetery (Lemont, Illinois)

St. James Catholic Church and Cemetery, also known as St. James at Sag Bridge Church is a historic church and cemetery in the Sag Bridge area of Lemont Township, Illinois. It is situated on a high bluff at the western tip of the glacier-carved Mount Forest Island, overlooking the Calumet Sag Channel and the community of Sag Bridge. History The site has been important for centuries as a lookout, including a French fort visited by Father Jacques Marquette on his journeys on the Des Plaines River several times in 1673; it is believed he conducted Catholic Mass at the fort. The church was founded in 1833 by workers building the Illinois and Michigan Canal, and first met in a rough log cabin. The present church building was built from 1853 to 1858 of locally quarried limestone painstakingly dragged up the steep hill. It was built on an ancient Native American trail, which has evolved into today's Archer Avenue (Illinois Route 171). On March 27, 1991, a tornado caused significant damage to Lemont and Sag Bridge, including the historic St. James church and cemetery. The tornado lifted up the roof of the church and dropped it back down askew, and knocked over numerous trees and tombstones in the cemetery. A group of dedicated parishioners banded together as the St. James Preservation Society to repair the damage and restore their church. St. James at Sag Bridge Catholic Church continues today in its historic role as the center of the Sag Bridge community. It is the only county parish in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1984, and is a contributing property of the Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor.

St. Josaphat Roman Catholic Church (Chicago)

St. Josaphat (Polish: Kościół Świętego Jozafata and in Kashubian as Kòscół Swiãtégò Jozafata) is a historic church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago located at 2311 North Southport Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. It is a prime example of the so-called 'Polish Cathedral style' of church in both its opulence and grand scale. St. Josaphat's two massive Romanesque belltowers are a hallmark view of the Lincoln Park skyline. History of Saint Josaphat's Parish The congregation dates back to 1882, when a 13-member committee of Chicago's Kashubian Polish community formally approached the Resurrectionist Father Vincent Barzynski, then Chicago's preeminent Polish priest, for his assistance in establishing a Kashubian parish. Prior to this most of the Kashubian families had been attending Mass at Saint Michael's Parish, a "German" parish which they preferred to Father Barzynski's own "Polish" parish of Saint Stanislaus Kostka. The current combination church-school building, an imposing brick edifice, was dedicated on May 22, 1884. The parish attracted Polish settlement in this area of the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, many of them also of Kashubian descent, as part of what is called the Kashubian diaspora. In 1902, Saint Josaphat claimed about 5,000 parishioners. This concentration led to the neighborhood being referred to as Kaszubowo by local Poles. By 1980, roughly half of Saint Josaphat's 450 families self-identified as Polish American, with 30% self-identifying as Mexican American. In the twenty-first century, Saint Josaphat's now serves an overwhelmingly young, white, urban professional congregation in a newly prosperous, gentrified neighborhood. The renovated church, with its traditional Catholic architecture, is popular for weddings, with over 65 a year. Architecture The Romanesque church, built at a cost of $125,000 in 1902, was designed by William J. Brinkmann, who also drew plans for the Neogothic masterpiece of St. Michael the Archangel in South Chicago.

Церковь Святого Иосифа Обручника (Чикаго)

Церковь Святого Иосифа Обручника (укр. Церква святого Йосифа Обручника) в Чикаго — один из крупнейших приходов Чикагской епархии св. Николая Украинской грекокатолической церкви. Современный храм построен в 1976 году. История Приход св. Иосифа канонически основан 1 августа 1956 года Константином Богачевским, митрополитом УГКЦ в Филадельфии. 12 августа 1956 году была проведена первая литургия в помещении римско-католической церкви св. Бенедикта. На богослужении, в следующее воскресенье, прихожанами стало более 60 семей, в тот день отдали приход под покровительство святого Иосифа Обручника. В конце 1957 года было приобретено четыре участка земли для постройки отдельной церкви. Территория более 80 акров между пересечением Кемберленд и Фостер, и Ист-Ривер Роуд и Аргайл. Один акр выделялся непосредственно под церковь, на остальной территории планировалось развитие украинского поселка. 13 апреля 1958 года состоялось освящение земли и началось строительство помещения церкви с центром религиозно-общественной жизни. Строительство продолжалась несколько месяцев и 2 ноября 1958 года церковь открылась для прихожан. Последняя литургия в «старой церкви» была проведена 20 марта 1977 года. Современная церковь Со временем численность прихожан неуклонно росла, и вскоре принято решение построить новую большую церковь для украинской диаспоры в Чикаго. Строительство новой церкви официально началась 1 октября 1975 года. Среди 32 архитекторов выбран проект Зенона Мазуркевича. 6 апреля 1975 года епископ Ярослав Габро освятил место для строительства, а через год Патриарх Иосиф Слипый посетил приход и освятил фундамент церкви. Современная церковь занимает 8 место в мире среди религиозных строений с необычной архитектурой. 26 декабря 1976 года владыка Ярослав Габро освятил два краеугольных камня новой церкви. Между двумя гранитными блоками вмурованы важные документы, связанные с устройством церкви, и памятные атрибуты из Украины, среди которых кусок угля из Донбасса и камень с Днепра.
