Join us at Holy Name Cathedral in downtown Chicago every Friday at noon until further notice. We will pray all 15 decades of the Rosary and the Litany of Loreto.
There is not a lot of space in front of Holy Name and the Police are there watching us, so it is very crucial that we maintain social distancing at all times. This means we may need to wrap around the block.
Even though this means that those not in front of the Cathedral won't be able to hear, and may have to pray the Rosary in groups, wouldn't it be cool to surround the whole block??? :)
Dear CBS: The #Reopenmychurch Facebook petition is now to be sent out to all Illinois bishops due to overwhelming support from Catholics outside of the Archdiocese of Chicago. The faithful in dioceses, such as Joliet, have taken notice that their bishops have mostly cut and pasted Cardinal Cupich's overbearing restrictions in their own dioceses. Even in churches, which have opened, the faithful are being FORCED to either receive Our Lord in the hand, or not at all. For those who do don't know, this goes against Cannon Law and has been reaffirmed countless times.
The St. Michael's Church in Wheaton, IL is particularly filled with faithful who wish to help grow this respectful, yet firm, petition to the bishops. Even members of the clergy have boldly and courageously signed this petition. Please spread this effort as far and wide as possible. This time is presenting an opportunity, clearly brought forth by the Holy Spirit, for devoted Catholics to remind the clergy that irreverence breaks Our Lord's heart, and therefore ours also.
Please use this Lifesite News article link below as a sirens call to awaken friends in Chicago and other dioceses who would like to awaken their leaders. GOD BLESS YOUR EFFORTS TO PRESERVE THE SACRAMENTS!
