Old St. Patrick's Church is a historical landmark in Chicago that was designed to withstand the test of time. Built in the 1850s, it is among the few structures that survived the devastating Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The church's architecture is rooted in the Celtic Revival movement, making it an outstanding example of Chicago's unique architectural style. Today, Old St. Patrick's Church is a vibrant community of more than 3,000 members, warmly welcoming visitors from diverse backgrounds. Located at the intersection of Chicago's diversity, the church celebrates its rich historical legacy while looking toward a promising future. Apart from Sunday masses, the church organizes guided tours and annual block parties, fostering community and joyous celebration.
