More pictures to follow soon.  Here are some samples:

Join us every First Friday for a Votive Mass of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  The next First Friday Mass is on October 7 at followed by Adoration.

All are invited to come to an open house on Saturday, October 8, co-sponsored by our local CAPS district.  Visit the tent in the garden to pick up information about safety issues and more.  Children are especially welcome; a police car will be parked in front for their investigation.  All first responders who attend the 4 PM Mass will receive a special blessing from Bishop Mark Bartosic.

Note that reasonably priced parking is available at the public garage of Lurie Children's Clinic on Clark St.

Due to the street closure for the 2022 Chicago Marathon on Sunday, October 9, the Shrine's Mass will change from 10 AM to 5 PM.  

In the spirit of Mother Cabrini, and in support of the City of Chicago's efforts to help immigrants who have  arrived, and will continue to arrive here, the Shrine will be collecting items to help with their daily needs.  You may drop off items in the narthex and we will transport them to various aldermanic drop-off points on an ongoing basis.  Click the picture of Mother Cabrini to get the current list of items requested by the city.  NOTE:  items must be new, and no food is being collected.

Two loads have already been taken to the alderman's office.  Thank you for your generosity!!  We will keep up this initiative as needed indefinitely.

Registration is available at:  tinyurl.com/CabriniStatue

Welcome, Sister Maria Eliane! as the new Superior.

Please scroll to the bottom of the page to see our new Shrine schedule!  We are open more days and more hours to better serve our community.

Another beautiful celebration at the Shrine.  After Communion, everyone who attended Mass recited the "Iesu Dulcissime", the Most Sweet Jesus prayer of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus which carries a plenary indulgence for a public recitation.  Father Fajardo led the prayer kneeling in front of our June Sacred Heart shrine.

We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day for our Corpus Christi processsion around the Shrine on Sunday, June 19.  

Our Sunday gathering was such a blessed event that the Shrine will now have hospitality after the 10 AM Mass every first Sunday of the month.

Spiritual Center & Architectural Masterpiece in the Heart of Lincoln Park

Historically, this site was home to Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, a missionary woman religious, who helped shape America's social and health care system in the early twentieth century.

Spiritually, it is the only National Shrine dedicated to the first American Citizen Saint and the Patron of Immigrants and Heath Care Workers in the Catholic Church.

Architecturally, the Shrine's Chapel is the masterpiece of world-renowned architect, Leonard Gliatto, who felt that this was his crowning achievement in America.
