Finally had time to go to service...my friend brought me here, and I was immediately touched by the full presence of the spirits and Saints...it's a very very holy church I think everyone should go there at least once to experience it it just came over, it scooped over me and brought me to a place of peace... You can still have communion there I will go back that is a beautiful beautiful gifted Church, and I look forward to receiving that piece of sanity and calm unexplainable peaceness only He can give.. it was lovely to be able to like candles for all my spirits and Saints and Friends it was so nice so fulfilling I really recommend this place

I've been attending the Sunday evening mass at St. Michael in Old Town since January 1990. Every Sunday my family would drive 45+ minutes to get to the Sunday night mass eager to hear the Mustard Seed Choir sing during mass and whatever homily the priest gave that somehow always tied into what was going on in our lives. My husband and I married there in 2002. Both our children were baptized there and I sing with the Sunday night choir - a dream that turned to reality shortly after marrying my husband.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Scared Heart of Jesus pray for us. Saint Jude worker of miracles pray for us. Saint Jude helper of the hopeless pray for us. Thank you Jesus and Saint Jude for favors received.. say 9 times a day and by the 8th day your request will be fulfilled..pray for Chicago and the state of Illinois to get some sense...

  • Peter Aiura

Beautiful church. Daily Mass is in the chapel on the left of the main church. Entrance is hidden between the buildings, so it was a little hard to find. No kneelers in the main church, but it's a beautiful, peaceful place to pray. Thankfully they keep the church accessible during the day, which is nice.

I’ve been living here for a long time, but I recently visited Saint Michaels church for the first time. It was very beautiful. The ceiling, the windows, everything was really beautiful and it was definitely worth a visit. Also, the people there were very nice.

Eine wunderschöne Kirche der deutschen Gemeinde. Wer nicht nur Bauwerke bewundert, sondern auch der Botschaft dieser Stein gewordenen Zeugen des christlichen Glaubens etwas abgewinnen kann, findet hier einen Ort der Ruhe und des Gebets und damit einen Weg zu sich selbst.

  • Humdrum

A classic church that was built before and actually survived the Chicago fire. Tons of history. Beautiful interior with very picturesque stain glass windows. It is in the heart of old Town with scenic walks straight down to the lake and Lincoln Park Zoo.

I was privileged to go there from KC, to witness the Ordination of an incredible man, Fr. Bob. It was my first time in Chicago. What an absolutely beautiful Church, adorned by talented artists! I wish ALL Catholic Churches would be so lovely! …

St. Michael Roman Catholic church in Old Town is a beautiful Chicago Landmark. St. Michael burned was built in the 1869, burned in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, and was rebuilt. Come celebrate a daily 8 AM or Noon Mass. When you hear

  • Metan Patel

It looks beautiful. I prayed for something, but nothing happened yet... So i rate an "okay"... Updated 1: I raised it one more star to "i liked it" because i could have potentially missed it. But shouldnt it be obvious enough???

  • B Yo

Beautiful church with an amazing high altar. One of the very few buildings with aspects that survived the Great Chicago Fire. A Redemptorist community with great people, wonderful music and fantastic place to worship.

  • Becky Havens

Extremely beautiful church. No AC. My kneeler was missing. It was hard to understand the speakers as things were kind of echo-y

Went here for a concert. Stunning interior. Reverberation time a bit long, makes it difficult to hear clearly. If you haven't been there, go see it. Small parking lot and crowded street parking, but worth it.

  • V. C. T.

This is a church built based on mid 19th century Bavarian churches. The interior is worth a visit. Keep in mind that I am not a Catholic, so I am purely looking at the architectural aspect. . …
